Subject: mm: consider whether to decivate based on eligible zones inactive ratio
Minchan Kim reported that with per-zone lru state it was possible to
identify that a normal zone with 8^M anonymous pages could trigger OOM
with non-atomic order-0 allocations as all pages in the zone were in the
active list.

The problem is due to the active deactivation logic in inactive_list_is_low.
Node 0 active_anon:404412kB inactive_anon:409040kB
IOW, (inactive_anon of node * inactive_ratio > active_anon of node) due to
highmem anonymous stat so VM never deactivates normal zone's anonymous pages.
This patch is a modified version of Minchan's original solution but based
upon it. The problem with Minchan's patch is that any low zone with an
imbalanced list could force a rotation.
In this patch, a zone-constrained global reclaim will rotate the list if
the inactive/active ratio of all eligible zones needs to be corrected. It
is possible that higher zone pages will be initially rotated prematurely
but this is the safer choice to maintain overall LRU age.
