[Devel] [PATCH][for -mm] Fix and Enhancements for memory cgroup [4/6] avoid handling !LRU page in mem_cgroup_isolate_pages

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This patch makes mem_cgroup_isolate_pages() to be

  - ignore !PageLRU pages.
  - fixes the bug that it makes no progress if page_zone(page) != zone
    page once find. (just increment scan in this case.)

kswapd and memory migraion removes a page from list when it handles
a page for reclaiming/migration. 

__isolate_lru_page() doesn't moves page !PageLRU pages, then, it will
be safe to avoid touching the page and its page_cgroup.
