mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()
Reset the reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE | RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC. (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list and does not affect shrink_active_list) Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier shrink_inactive_list(). Meanwhile, in age_active_anon() sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero. So the current behavior is too complex and confusing, and this looks like bug. In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the next shrink_inactive_list(). Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists. So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().
