Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm: introduce vma_is_anonymous(vma) helper

Preparation. Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma),
and change handle_pte_fault() to use it. It will have more users.

The name is not very accurate, say mmap_mem/VM_PFNMAP vma is not
anonymous. Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead.
But it matches the logic in mmap.c/memory.c, see next changes.
