Subject: [PATCH] tools/vm/page-types: remove dependency on opt_file for idle page tracking

Idle page tracking can also be used for process address space, not only
file mappings.

Without this change, using with '-i' option for process address space
encounters below errors reported.

$ sudo ./page-types -p $(pidof bash) -i
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
mark page idle: Bad file descriptor
....
