zone_reclaimable_pages counts how many pages are reclaimable in the
given zone.  This currently includes all pages on file lrus and anon
lrus if there is an available swap storage.  We do not consider
NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} counters though which is not correct because
these counters reflect temporarily isolated pages which are still
reclaimable because they either get back to their LRU or get freed
either by the page reclaim or page migration.

The number of these pages might be sufficiently high to confuse users of
zone_reclaimable_pages (e.g.  mbind can migrate large ranges of memory
at once).
