vmscan: update isolated page counters outside of main path in shrink_inactive_list()

When shrink_inactive_list() isolates pages, it updates a number of
counters using temporary variables to gather them.  These consume stack
and it's in the main path that calls ->writepage().  This patch moves the
accounting updates outside of the main path to reduce stack usage.
