In shrink_folio_list(), demote_folio_list() can be called multiple times,
which can lead to inaccurate demotion statistics if the number of demoted
pages is not accumulated correctly.
Accumulate the nr_demoted count across multiple calls to
demote_folio_list(), ensuring accurate reporting of demotion statistics.
