I found a regression on mm-unstable during my swap stress test, using
tmpfs to compile linux.  The test OOM very soon after the make spawns many
cc processes.

It bisects down to this change: 33dfe9204f29b415bbc0abb1a50642d1ba94f5e9
(mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch)

Yu Zhao propose the fix: "I think this is one of the potential side
effects -- Huge mentioned earlier about isolate_lru_folios():"

I test that with it the swap stress test no longer OOM.
