Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Do not annotate shmem allocations explicitly


shmem support allocates pages for two purposes. Firstly, shmem_dir_alloc()
allocates pages to track swap vectors. These are not movable so this
patch clears all mobility-flags related to the allocation. Secondly,
shmem_alloc_pages() allocates pages on behalf of shmem_getpage(), whose
flags come from a file mapping which already sets the appropriate mobility
flags. These allocations do not need to be explicitly flagged so this patch
removes the unnecessary annotations.
