shrink_page_list() is also used by reclaim_pages(), which is called by
madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT). This patch changes the semantics of madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)
from “reclaim a given range of pages” to migrate the given pages to lower
tier memory or reclaim them if the migration fails. You might want to check
the caller of shrink_page_list() to avoid changing madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)
semantics.
