How's this?

Christoph, Can we hear your opinion about to add new branch in slab-free path?
I think this is ok, because reclaim makes a lot of cache miss then branch
mistaken is relatively minor penalty. thought?

Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: count reclaimed slab pages properly

Andrew Morton pointed out __zone_reclaim() shouldn't compare old and new
zone_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE) result. Instead, it have to account
number of free slab pages by to enhance reclaim_state.

This patch does it.
