[patch] vmscan: initialize sc.order in indirect shrink_list() users

[Johannes Weiner]

shrink_all_memory() and __zone_reclaim() currently don't initialize
the .order field of their scan control.

Both of them call into functions which use that field and make certain
decisions based on a random value.

The functions depending on the .order field are marked with a star,
the faulty entry points are marked with a percentage sign:

* shrink_page_list()
  * shrink_inactive_list()
  * shrink_active_list()
    shrink_list()
      shrink_all_zones()
        % shrink_all_memory()
      shrink_zone()
        % __zone_reclaim()

Initialize .order to zero in shrink_all_memory().  Initialize .order
to the order parameter in __zone_reclaim().
