Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mm: pagemap: Avoid unnecessary overhead when tracepoints are deactivated

The LRU insertion and activate tracepoints take PFN as a parameter forcing
the overhead to the caller.  Move the overhead to the tracepoint fast-assign
method to ensure the cost is only incurred when the tracepoint is active.
