Subject: [PATCH 1/2] uprobes/core: Make background page replacement logic account for rss_stat counters

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Background page replacement logic adds a new anonymous page instead of a
filebacked(while inserting a breakpoint) / anonymous page(while removing a
breakpoint). Hence logic should take care to update the rss_stat counters
accordingly. This bug became apparent courtesy commit c3f0327f8e9d7
