mm: Clear page active before releasing pages
Active pages should not be freed to the page allocator as it triggers a
bad page state warning. Fengguang Wu reported the following bug and
bisected it to the patch "mm: remove lru parameter from __lru_cache_add
and lru_cache_add_lru" which is currently in mmotm as
mm-remove-lru-parameter-from-__lru_cache_add-and-lru_cache_add_lru.patch

[ 84.255596] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
The problem was that a page marked for activation was released via
pagevec. This patch clears the active bit before freeing in this case.
