Subject: [PATCH] memory unplug v7 [2/6] - isolate_lru_page fix

release_pages() in mm/swap.c changes page_count() to be 0
without removing PageLRU flag...

This means isolate_lru_page() can see a page, PageLRU() && page_count(page)==0..
This is BUG. (get_page() will be called against count=0 page.)
