Subject: mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event
The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12
parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure. This
structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c. By moving it to the global
vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints. In
moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments to the
trace event. In the future, we may limit the number of arguments that a
trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it may be 8).
Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this:
