[PATCH]mm:Correctly update number of rotated pages on active list.

From: Pradeep Goswami (Pradeep Kumar Goswami)
Date: Thu Dec 03 2015 - 05:16:14 EST


This patch corrects the number of pages which are rotated on active list.
The counter for rotated pages effects the number of pages
to be scanned on active pages list in low memory situations.
