[PATCH] zone reclaim: do not check references to a page during zone reclaim
shrink_list() and refill_inactive() check all ptes pointing to a page for reference bits in order to decide if the page should be put on the active list. This is not necessary for zone_reclaim since we are only interested in removing unmapped pages. Skip the checks in both functions.
