[RFC 3/8] vmscan: make isolate_lru_page with filter aware

[Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com>]

In some __zone_reclaim case, we don't want to shrink mapped page.
Nonetheless, we have isolated mapped page and re-add it into
LRU's head. It's unnecessary CPU overhead and makes LRU churning.

Of course, when we isolate the page, the page might be mapped but
when we try to migrate the page, the page would be not mapped.
So it could be migrated. But race is rare and although it happens,
it's no big deal.
