Subject[PATCH] mm: vmscan: ensure reclaiming pages on the lru lists of zone
From
It is possible that the memcg input into shrink_mem_cgroup_zone() in
each round is not NULL, and the loop terminates at NULL case. And there
is chance that pages on the lru lists of zone are not reclaimed.

Mem cgroup iteration is refactored a bit to ensure the NULL case is also
input into the function.
