Sorry! It's my negligence.
If we make dummy static, it can help us save more stack.

without change:  
0xffffffff810aede8 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	184
0xffffffff810aeef8 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	184

with change: struct shrink_result dummy = {};
0xffffffff810aed6c reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	152
0xffffffff810aee68 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	152

with change: static struct shrink_result dummy ={};
0xffffffff810aed69 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	120
0xffffffff810aee4d reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []:	120

thx!
