Subject: [PATCH 06/10] vmscan: Split shrink_zone to reduce stack usage

shrink_zone() calculculates how many pages it needs to shrink from each
LRU list in a given pass. It uses a number of temporary variables to
work this out that then remain on the stack. This patch splits the
function so that some of the stack variables can be discarded.
