[PATCH v3] mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

[Miklos Szeredi]

(resent with fixed CC list, sorry for the duplicate)

Thanks for the review.

Here's an updated patch.  Modifications since the last post:

 - don't pass gfp_mask (since it's only able to deal with GFP_KERNEL
   anyway)

 - use mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() and mem_cgroup_end_migration()
   instead of intrdoucing mem_cgroup_replace_cache_page() helper.
   This can be done later if the performance impact of using the
   migration functions turns out to be excessive.

Applies on top of memcg-fix-memory-migration-of-shmem-swapcache.patch

Thanks,
Miklos

Subject: mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

This function basically does:

     remove_from_page_cache(old);
     page_cache_release(old);
     add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the
"add" to fail because of a race.

This is used by fuse to move pages into the page cache.
