Lee Schermerhorn 894bc31041 Unevictable LRU Infrastructure
When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages.  Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.

Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan.  Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat.  Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.

Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.

Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.

The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable.  Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests.  We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.

To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference.  If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list.  This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.
