mm: count only reclaimable lru pages
global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways:
- to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory()
- to calculate the slab scan ratio
When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable
and also won't be scanned. So the anon pages shall not be counted in both
usage scenarios. Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting
the possibly reclaimable lru pages.
It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high
memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is
full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.
