Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 11/11] tools/vm/page-types: remove dependency on opt_file for idle page tracking

From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit ebaeab2fe87987cef28eb5ab174c42cd28594387 ]

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
