[PATCH] mm, vmscan: set shrinker to the left page count

From: Chen Feng
Date: Mon Jun 27 2016 - 07:03:32 EST


In my platform, there can be cache a lot of memory in
ion page pool. When shrink memory the nr_to_scan to ion
is always to little.
to_scan: 395 ion_pool_cached: 27305

Currently, the shrinker nr_deferred is set to total_scan.
But it's not the real left of the shrinker. Change it to
the freeable - freed.
