Interesting; true, we have charge/uncharge in __do_fault()/do_wp_page
and friends. So, we seem to update FILE_MAPPED in the rmap via
cgroup_dec/inc_page_stat, and CACHE is updated via charge/uncharge. Hm.
The code in memory.c is full of if/else ifs, and I wonder if there's
some discrepancy in there, but briefly looking it looks fine. The
code looks correct indeed, but I'm getting the wrong stats. :-/
