Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm: swp_entry_swapcount

Provide a new swapfile method for remap_anon_pages to verify the swap
entry is mapped only in one vma before relocating the swap entry in a
different virtual address. Otherwise if the swap entry is mapped
in multiple vmas, when the page is swapped back in, it could get
mapped in a non linear way in some anon_vma.
