[RFC 5/6] mm: use lightweight reclaim on FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT

[Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com>]

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

When FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is set, the caller arguably wants only a
lightweight reclaim to avoid a long reclamation, which would not respect
the "NOWAIT" semantic. Regard the request in swap and file-backed
page-faults accordingly during the first try.
