Subject: [PATCH linux-next v3] swap_state: update shadow_nodes for anonymous page

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

Shadow_nodes is for shadow nodes reclaiming of workingset handling,
it is updated when page cache add or delete since long time ago
workingset only supported page cache. But when workingset supports
anonymous page detection, we missied updating shadow nodes for
it. This caused that shadow nodes of anonymous page will never be
reclaimd by scan_shadow_nodes() even they use much memory and
system memory is tense.

So update shadow_nodes of anonymous page when swap cache is
add or delete by calling  xas_set_update(..workingset_update_node).

Fixes: aae466b0052e ("mm/swap: implement workingset detection for anonymous LRU")
