Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm: shrink_inactive_lis() nr_scan accounting fix fix

Subject: [PATCH] mm: shrink_inactive_lis() nr_scan accounting fix fix

If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list().
In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly.

But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it. current shrink_inactive_list()
always call shrink_page_list() although isolate_pages() return 0.

This patch restore proper return value check.


Requirements:
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list().
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics
     modification.
