[v6,10/17] mm: Combine LRU and main union in struct page

Commit Message

From: Matthew Wilcox <[e-mail]>

This gives us five words of space in a single union in struct page.
The compound_mapcount moves position (from offset 24 to offset 20)
on 64-bit systems, but that does not seem likely to cause any trouble.
