shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver. shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion. We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32). This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() (the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is always a no-op while PageSwapCache. Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(), now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode() needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against racing with inode eviction. It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now: needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.
