[PATCH for 2.6.28] mm: remove unevictable's show_page_path

[PATCH for 2.6.28] mm: remove unevictable's show_page_path

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Andrew, very sorry for the patch posting at late -rc stage.
However, I think this patch is needed 2.6.28 and I've tested it on stress workload.

Could you please pick it up?


--------------------------------------------------
Hugh Dickins reported show_page_path() is buggy and unsafe. 
because

 - lack dput() against d_find_alias()
 - don't concern vma->vm_mm->owner == NULL
 - lack lock_page()

it was only for debugging, so rather than trying to fix it, just remove it now.
