mm: vmscan: immediately reclaim end-of-LRU dirty pages when writeback completes

Browse Source 
When direct reclaim encounters a dirty page, it gets recycled around the
LRU for another cycle.  This patch marks the page PageReclaim similar to
deactivate_page() so that the page gets reclaimed almost immediately after
the page gets cleaned.  This is to avoid reclaiming clean pages that are
younger than a dirty page encountered at the end of the LRU that might
have been something like a use-once page.
