[PATCH 02/03] Unmapped: Modify LRU behaviour

[Magnus Damm]

Move reclaim_mapped logic, sc->nr_mapped, keep active unmapped pages.

This patch moves the reclaim_mapped logic from refill_inactive_zone() to
shrink_zone(), where it is used to determine if the mapped LRU should be
scanned or not. The sc->nr_mapped member is removed and replaced with code
that checks the number of pages placed on the per-zone mapped LRU.
refill_inactive_zone is changed to allow rotate of active unmapped pages.
