Hugh Dickins 2bcf887963 mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stack
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().

Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
(which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
deep backtraces.

However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
(nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
compound case before putting on pages_to_free.

Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.
