Subject: [PATCH -V2] mm: move idle swap cache pages to the tail of LRU after COW
With commit 09854ba94c6a ("mm: do_wp_page() simplification"), after
COW, the idle swap cache (neither the page nor the corresponding swap
entry is mapped by any process) will be left at the original position
in the LRU list. While it may be in the active list or the head of
the inactive list, so that vmscan may take more overhead or time to
reclaim these actually unused pages.
To help the page reclaiming, in this patch, after COW, the idle swap
cache will be tried to be moved to the tail of the inactive LRU list.
To avoid to introduce much overhead to the hot COW code path, all
locks are acquired with try locking.
To test the patch, we used pmbench memory accessing benchmark with
working-set larger than available memory on a 2-socket Intel server
with a NVMe SSD as swap device. Test results shows that the pmbench
score increases up to 21.8% with the decreased size of swap cache and
swapin throughput.

V2:
- Move trylock_page() to try_to_free_idle_swapcache() per Rik and
Linus' comments.
- Fix PageLRU() checking.
- Fix THP processing.
- Rename the function.
