Subject: [PATCH] mm: Do not allocate duplicate stack variables in
 shrink_page_list()

On path shrink_inactive_list() ---> shrink_page_list()
we allocate stack variables for the statistics twice.
This is completely useless, and this just consumes stack
much more, then we really need.

The patch kills duplicate stack variables from shrink_page_list(),
and this reduce stack usage and object file size significantly:

Stack usage:
Before: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list	648	static
After:  vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list	616	static

Size of vmscan.o:
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
Before: 56866	   4720	    128	  61714	   f112	mm/vmscan.o
After:  56770	   4720	    128	  61618	   f0b2	mm/vmscan.o
