[PATCH][resend][-mm] memcg: handle tmpfs' swapcache

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

SwapCache handling fix.

shmem's swapcache behavior is a little different from anonymous's one and
memcg failed to handle it. This patch tries to fix it.

After this:

Any page marked as SwapCache is not uncharged. (delelte_from_swap_cache()
delete the flag.)

To check a page is alive shmem-page-cache or not we use
  page->mapping && !PageAnon(page)
 instead of
  pc->flags & PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_CACHE. in current one.

This is a fix against memcg-handle-swap-cache.patch

After this, swapcache pages of tmpfs/shmem are handled by memcg.
(IOW, without this, swapcache used by tmpfs can occupy not-allowed memory.)
