Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: wrap five parameters into arg_container in shrink_page_list()

shrink_page_list() has too many arguments that have already reached ten.
Some of those arguments and temporary variables introduces extra 80 bytes
on the stack.

This patch wraps five parameters into arg_container and removes some temporary
variables, thus making shrink_page_list() to consume fewer stack space.

Before mm/vmscan.c is modified:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6876698	 957224	 966656	8800578	 864942	vmlinux-3.15

After mm/vmscan.c is changed:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6876506	 957224	 966656	8800386	 864882	vmlinux-3.15
