Subject: [PATCH -next v2] include/linux/mm.h: move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h

nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h.
The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete includes.
For example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more since it has
already included mm.h.
Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages,
it turns out that those files have already included mm.h.
Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely. This change
will not affect the compilation of other files.
