[PATCH][for -mm] fix accounting in vmscan.c for memory controller

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

Without this, ALLOCSTALL and PGSCAN_DIRECT increases too much unless
there is no memory shortage.

against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1.

-Kame

==
Some amount of accounting is done while page reclaiming.

Now, there are 2 types of page reclaim (if memory controller is used)
  - global: shortage of (global) pages.
  - under cgroup: use up to limit.

I think 2 accountings, ALLOCSTALL and DIRECT should be accounted only under
global lru scan. They are accounted against memory shortage at alloc_pages().
