Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: avoid recording the original scan targets in shrink_lruvec()

Via https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/10/334 , we can find that recording the
original scan targets introduces extra 40 bytes on the stack. This patch
is able to avoid this situation and the call to memcpy(). At the same time,
it does not change the relative design idea.

ratio = original_nr_file / original_nr_anon;

If (nr_file > nr_anon), then ratio = (nr_file - x) / nr_anon.
 x = nr_file - ratio * nr_anon;

if (nr_file <= nr_anon), then ratio = nr_file / (nr_anon - x).
 x = nr_anon - nr_file / ratio;
