define page_file_cache() function
Define page_file_cache() function to answer the question:
is page backed by a file?
Originally part of Rik van Riel's split-lru patch. Extracted to make
available for other, independent reclaim patches.
Moved inline function to linux/mm_inline.h where it will be needed by
subsequent "split LRU" and "noreclaim" patches.
Unfortunately this needs to use a page flag, since the PG_swapbacked state
needs to be preserved all the way to the point where the page is last
removed from the LRU. Trying to derive the status from other info in the
page resulted in wrong VM statistics in earlier split VM patchsets.
The total number of page flags in use on a 32 bit machine after this patch
is 19.
