Subject: [PATCH] filemap: Make the accounting of thrashing more consistent

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and
we gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].

So let delayacct account both the thrashing of page cache and anonymous
pages, this could make the codes more consistent and simpler.

[1] commit aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU")
