Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] Fix false positive BUG_ON in __page_set_anon_rmap

Rik, how do you think ?

==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Problem: wrong BUG_ON() in  __page_set_anon_rmap().
Kernel version: mmotm-0719

How to reproduce:
  create a small cgroup
  # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
  # mkdir /cgroup/A
  # echo 30M > /cgroup/A/memory.limit_in_bytes

and run a malloc() program to cause swap-in v.s. swap-out ping-pong.

Description:
  Even if SwapCache is fully unmapped and mapcount goes down to 0,
  page->mapping is not cleared and will remain on memory until kswapd or some
  finds it. If a thread cause a page fault onto such "unmapped-but-not-discarded"
  swapcache, it will see a swap cache whose mapcount is 0 but page->mapping has a
  valid value.

  When it's reused at do_swap_page(), __page_set_anon_rmap() is called with
  "exclusive==1" and hits BUG_ON(). But this BUG_ON() is wrong. Nothing bad
  with rmapping a page which has page->mapping isn't 0.
