Subject: vmscan: fix increasing nr_isolated incurred by putback unevictable pages
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() assumes that shrink_page_list() returns
number of pages removed from the candidate list. But shrink_page_list()
puts back mlocked pages without passing it to caller and without counting
as nr_reclaimed. This increases nr_isolated.
To fix this, this patch changes shrink_page_list() to pass unevictable
pages back to caller. Caller will take care those pages.
