Subject: [PATCH] don't waste swap on locked pages
try_to_unmap always fails on a page found in a VM_LOCKED vma (unless
migrating), and recycles it back to the active list. But if it's an
anonymous page, we've already allocated swap to it: just wasting swap.
Spot locked pages in page_referenced_one and treat them as referenced.
