[PATCH v2] mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim freed folios

[Miaohe Lin]

If folios were freed from under us, there's no need to reclaim them. Skip
these folios to save lots of cpu cycles and avoid possible unnecessary
disk I/O.

v2:
  use folio_ref_freeze to guard against race with GUP (fast). Many thanks
  Matthew for pointing this out.
