Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: exclude isolated non-lru pages from NR_ISOLATED_ANON or NR_ISOLATED_FILE.

From: Ming Ling <ming.ling@...eadtrum.com>

Non-lru pages don't belong to any lru, so counting them to
NR_ISOLATED_ANON or NR_ISOLATED_FILE doesn't make any sense.
It may misguide functions such as pgdat_reclaimable_pages and
too_many_isolated.
On mobile devices such as 512M ram android Phone, it may use
a big zram swap. In some cases zram(zsmalloc) uses too many
non-lru pages, such as:
	MemTotal: 468148 kB
	Normal free:5620kB
	Free swap:4736kB
	Total swap:409596kB
	ZRAM: 164616kB(zsmalloc non-lru pages)
	active_anon:60700kB
	inactive_anon:60744kB
	active_file:34420kB
	inactive_file:37532kB
More non-lru pages which used by zram for swap, it influences
pgdat_reclaimable_pages and too_many_isolated more.
This patch excludes isolated non-lru pages from NR_ISOLATED_ANON
or NR_ISOLATED_FILE to ensure their counts are right.
