Subject: lumpy: increase pressure at the end of the inactive list cleanups
From: Andy Whitcroft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
1) introduces ISOLATE_[ACTIVE,INACTIVE],
2) changes the name of the deactivate_pages() helper to clear_active_flags(),
3) cleans up and simplifies the checks in __isolate_lru_pages(), and
4) changes the parameter active to mode throughout.
