Subject: [34-longterm 077/179] migrate: don't account swapcache as shmem

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 99a15e21d96f6857dafab1e5167e5e8183215c9c upstream.

swapcache will reach the below code path in migrate_page_move_mapping,
and swapcache is accounted as NR_FILE_PAGES but it's not accounted as
NR_SHMEM.

Hugh pointed out we must use PageSwapCache instead of comparing
mapping to &swapper_space, to avoid build failure with CONFIG_SWAP=n.
