[PATCH] Set page active bit in mincore() call.

[Roman Guschin <guroan@gmail.com>]

Hi all!

It's a very simple patch that allows to see which pages are active and
which not.
It's very useful for debugging performance issues in mm.
I used the vmtouch tool (with a simple modification) to display the results.

R.
