[RFC v2 2/3] mm: work deactivate_page with anon pages

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Thu Mar 20 2014 - 02:40:36 EST


Now, deactivate_page works for file page but MADV_FREE will use
it to move lazyfree pages to inactive LRU's tail so this patch
makes deactivate_page work with anon pages as well as file pages.
