vmscan,migrate: fix page count imbalance on node stats when demoting pages
When numa balancing is enabled with demotion, vmscan will call migrate_pages when shrinking LRUs. migrate_pages will decrement the the node's isolated page count, leading to an imbalanced count when invoked from (MG)LRU code. The result is dmesg output like such: $ cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh [77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -103212 [77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -899642 This negative value may impact compaction and reclaim throttling. The following path produces the decrement: shrink_folio_list demote_folio_list migrate_pages migrate_pages_batch migrate_folio_move migrate_folio_done mod_node_page_state(-ve) <- decrement This path happens for SUCCESSFUL migrations, not failures. Typically callers to migrate_pages are required to handle putback/accounting for failures, but this is already handled in the shrink code. When accounting for migrations, instead do not decrement the count when the migration reason is MR_DEMOTION. As of v6.11, this demotion logic is the only source of MR_DEMOTION.
