[PATCH 3/7] mm, vmscan: show the number of skipped pages in mm_vmscan_lru_isolate

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate shows the number of requested, scanned and taken
pages. This is mostly OK but on 32b systems the number of scanned pages
is quite misleading because it includes both the scanned and skipped
pages.  Moreover the skipped part is scaled based on the number of taken
pages. Let's report the exact numbers without any additional logic and
add the number of skipped pages. This should make the reported data much
more easier to interpret.
