[RFC PATCH] mm: move xa forward when run across zombie page

Bellowing RCU stall is reported where kswapd traps in a live lock when shrink
superblock's inode list. The direct reason is zombie page keeps staying on the
xarray's slot and make the check and retry loop permanently. The root cause is unknown yet
and supposed could be an xa update without synchronize_rcu etc. I would like to
suggest skip this page to break the live lock as a workaround.
