mm: vmscan: never isolate more pages than necessary
If transparent huge pages are enabled, we can isolate many more pages than we actually need to scan, because we count both single and huge pages equally in isolate_lru_pages(). Since commit 5bc7b8ac ("mm: thp: add split tail pages to shrink page list in page reclaim"), we scan all the tail pages immediately after a huge page split (see shrink_page_list()). As a result, we can reclaim up to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX * HPAGE_PMD_NR (512 MB) in one run! This is easy to catch on memcg reclaim with zswap enabled. The latter makes swapout instant so that if we happen to scan an unreferenced huge page we will evict both its head and tail pages immediately, which is likely to result in excessive reclaim.
