vmscan,migrate: fix page count imbalance on node stats when demoting pages
When numa balancing is enabled with demotion, vmscan will call
migrate_pages when shrinking LRUs. migrate_pages will decrement the
the node's isolated page count, leading to an imbalanced count when
invoked from (MG)LRU code.
The result is dmesg output like such:
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -103212
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -899642
This negative value may impact compaction and reclaim throttling.
The following path produces the decrement:
shrink_folio_list
demote_folio_list
migrate_pages
migrate_pages_batch
migrate_folio_move
migrate_folio_done
mod_node_page_state(-ve) <- decrement
This path happens for SUCCESSFUL migrations, not failures. Typically
callers to migrate_pages are required to handle putback/accounting for
failures, but this is already handled in the shrink code.
When accounting for migrations, instead do not decrement the count when
the migration reason is MR_DEMOTION. As of v6.11, this demotion logic
is the only source of MR_DEMOTION.
