[PATCH REBASED 4/4] mm: Generalize putback scan functions

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Mon Mar 18 2019 - 05:28:25 EST


This combines two similar functions move_active_pages_to_lru()
and putback_inactive_pages() into single move_pages_to_lru().
This remove duplicate code and makes object file size smaller.

Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
57082 4732 128 61942 f1f6 mm/vmscan.o
After:
text data bss dec hex filename
55112 4600 128 59840 e9c0 mm/vmscan.o

Note, that now we are checking for !page_evictable() coming
from shrink_active_list(), which shouldn't change any behavior
since that path works with evictable pages only.

v3: Replace list_del_init() with list_del()
v2: Move VM_BUG_ON() up.
