[PATCH RFC 1/1] mm/swap: queue reclaimable folio to local rotate batch when !folio_test_lru()

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

All LRU move interfaces have a problem that it has no effect if the
folio is isolated from LRU (in cpu batch or isolated by shrinker).
Since it can't move/change folio LRU status when it's isolated, mostly
just clear the folio flag and do nothing in this case.

In our case, a written back and reclaimable folio won't be rotated to
the tail of inactive list, since it's still in cpu lru_add batch. It
may cause the delayed reclaim of this folio and evict other folios.

This patch changes to queue the reclaimable folio to cpu rotate batch
even when !folio_test_lru(), hoping it will likely be handled after
the lru_add batch which will put folio on the LRU list first, so
will be rotated to the tail successfully when handle rotate batch.
