mm, vmscan: account for skipped pages as a partial scan
Page reclaim determines whether a pgdat is unreclaimable by examining
how many pages have been scanned since a page was freed and comparing
that to the LRU sizes. Skipped pages are not reclaim candidates but
contribute to scanned. This can prematurely mark a pgdat as
unreclaimable and trigger an OOM kill.
This patch accounts for skipped pages as a partial scan so that an
unreclaimable pgdat will still be marked as such but by scaling the cost
of a skip, it'll avoid the pgdat being marked prematurely.
