mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()
Reset the reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE |
RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC. (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list
and does not affect shrink_active_list)
Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if
RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier
shrink_inactive_list(). Meanwhile, in age_active_anon()
sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero. So the current behavior is too
complex and confusing, and this looks like bug.
In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the
next shrink_inactive_list(). Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates
pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists.
So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().
