get_scan_ratio does not look at the sizes of the lists, but
at the ratio between "pages scanned" and "pages rotated".

A page that is moved from the inactive to the active list
is always counted as rotated.

A page that is moved from the active to the inactive list
is counted as rotated if it was mapped and referenced.
