Subject[BUGFIX][PATCH][ for -mm] bugfix for memory cgroup controller [4/5] avoid !PageLRU page in mem_cgroup_isolate_pages
This patch makes mem_cgroup_isolate_pages() to be

- ignore !PageLRU pages.
- fixes the bug that isolation makes no progress if page_zone(page) != zone
page once find. (just increment scan in this case.)

kswapd and memory migration removes a page from list when it handles
a page for reclaiming/migration.

Because __isolate_lru_page() doesn't moves page !PageLRU pages, it will
be safe to avoid touching !PageLRU() page and its page_cgroup.

Chnagelog v1 -> v2:
* adjusted to 2.6.23-mm1
