Subject: [PATCH v2 3/11] Enhance replace_page() to support pagecache

Enhance replace_page() to support pagecache

Currently replace_page would work only for anonymous pages.
This patch enhances replace_page() to work for pagecache pages

This enhancement is useful for user_bkpt's replace_page based
background page replacement for insertion and removal of breakpoints.
