Subject: [PATCH 07/10] vmscan: Remove dead code in shrink_inactive_list()

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>

After synchrounous lumpy reclaim, the page_list is guaranteed to not
have active pages as page activation in shrink_page_list() disables lumpy
reclaim. Remove the dead code.
