mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion. This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will throttle again if necessary.
