mm: page migration use migration entry for swapcache too
Hitherto page migration has avoided using a migration entry for a swapcache page mapped into userspace, apparently for historical reasons. So any page blessed with swapcache would entail a minor fault when it's next touched, which page migration otherwise tries to avoid. Swapcache in an mlocked area is rare, so won't often matter, but still better fixed. Just rearrange the block in try_to_unmap_one(), to handle TTU_MIGRATION before checking PageAnon, that's all (apart from some reindenting). Well, no, that's not quite all: doesn't this by the way fix a soft_dirty bug, that page migration of a file page was forgetting to transfer the soft_dirty bit? Probably not a serious bug: if I understand correctly, soft_dirty afficionados usually have to handle file pages separately anyway; but we publish the bit in /proc/<pid>/pagemap on file mappings as well as anonymous, so page migration ought not to perturb it.
