Below are just minor suggestions regarding the changed code.

Hm, file is a boolean already, the double negation can probably be
dropped.

Should perhaps be in another patch, but we could use

__mod_zone_page_state(zone, LRU_ACTIVE + file * LRU_FILE);

like in the call to move_active_pages_to_lru().

file is boolean.

There is one more double negation in isolate_pages_global() that can
be dropped as well. If you agree, I can submit all those changes in
separate patches.
