SHM_LOCKED pages are unevictable

Shmem segments locked into memory via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) should not be
kept on the normal LRU, since scanning them is a waste of time and might
throw off kswapd's balancing algorithms.  Place them on the unevictable
LRU list instead.

Use the AS_UNEVICTABLE flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed shared
memory regions as unevictable.  Then these pages will be culled off the
normal LRU lists during vmscan.

Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's unevictable state when/if
shared memory segment is munlocked.

Add 'scan_mapping_unevictable_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all pages in
the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for evictability now
that they're no longer locked.  If so, move them to the appropriate zone
lru list.

Changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
