This patch consolidates the page out and the various cleanup operations
within shrink_page_list function into handle_pgout and pg_finish
functions.

This makes the shrink_page_list function more concise and allows for
the separation of page out and page scan operations.
It paves the way to group similar pages together and batch
process them in the page out path for better efficiency.

After we have scanned a page in shrink_page_list and 
completed paging, the final disposition and clean 
up of the page is consolidated into pg_finish.  T
he designated disposition of the page from page scanning
in shrink_page_list is marked with one of the designation in pg_result.

There is no intention to change shrink_page_list's
functionality or logic in this patch.

Thanks.
