The "move pages to active list" and "move pages to inactive list"
code blocks are mostly identical and can be served by a function.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing this out.

Note that buffer_heads_over_limit check will also be carried out
for re-activated pages, which is slightly different from pre-2.6.28
kernels. Also, Rik's "vmscan: evict use-once pages first" patch
could totally stop scans of active list when memory pressure is low.
So the net effect could be, the number of buffer heads is now more
likely to grow large.
