Subject: [PATCH 4/5] mm: simplify reclaim path for MADV_FREE

I made reclaim path mess to check and free MADV_FREEed page.
This patch simplify it with tweaking add_to_swap.

So far, we mark page as PG_dirty when we add the page into
swap cache(ie, add_to_swap) to page out to swap device but
this patch moves PG_dirty marking under try_to_unmap_one
when we decide to change pte from anon to swapent so if
any process's pte has swapent for the page, the page must
be swapped out. IOW, there should be no funcional behavior
change. It makes relcaim path really simple for MADV_FREE
because we just need to check PG_dirty of page to decide
discarding the page or not.

Other thing this patch does is to pass TTU_BATCH_FLUSH to
try_to_unmap when we handle freeable page because I don't
see any reason to prevent it.
