[RFC v7 09/11] Get rid of depenceny that all pages is from a zone in shrink_page_list

[Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>]

Now shrink_page_list expect all pages come from a same zone
but it's too limited to use it.

This patch removes the dependency and add may_discard in scan_control
so next patch can use shrink_page_list with pages from multiple zonnes.
