mm: fix negative nr_isolated counts
The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when
CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that
nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever
more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated
pages, yet still appear to be zero.
I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself;
but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get
too_many_isolated() working again.
The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case:
putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot
to call acct_isolated() to increment them.
It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills
when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.
