[PATCH] mm: try to free swap only for reading swap fault

[<zhouxianrong@huawei.com>]

From: zhouxianrong <zhouxianrong@huawei.com>

the purpose of this patch is that when a reading swap fault
happens on a clean swap cache page whose swap count is equal
to one, then try_to_free_swap could remove this page from 
swap cache and mark this page dirty. so if later we reclaimed
this page then we could pageout this page due to this dirty.
so i want to allow this action only for writing swap fault.

i sampled the data of non-dirty anonymous pages which is no
need to pageout and total anonymous pages in shrink_page_list.

the results are:

        non-dirty anonymous pages     total anonymous pages
before  26343                         635218
after   36907                         634312
