Subject: vmscan: set up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_inactive_list()
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
shrink_inactive_list() sets up a pagevec to release unfreeable pages. It
uses significant amounts of stack doing this. This patch splits
shrink_inactive_list() to take the stack usage out of the main path so
that callers to writepage() do not contain an unused pagevec on the stack.
