Subject: [PATCH V5 2/6] mm: don't assume anonymous pages have SwapBacked flag

There are a few places the code assumes anonymous pages should have
SwapBacked flag set. MADV_FREE pages are anonymous pages but we are
going to add them to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list and clear SwapBacked flag
for them. The assumption doesn't hold any more, so fix them.
