mm: vmscan: set zone flags before blocking

In shrink_page_list a decision may be made to stall and flag a zone as
ZONE_WRITEBACK so that if a large number of unqueued dirty pages are
encountered later then the reclaimer will stall.  Set ZONE_WRITEBACK
before potentially going to sleep so it is noticed sooner.
