From: Huang Ying <[email protected]>
Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand the
MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function is
renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these are put
in one patch as one logical change.

Thought again. Should we make the 2 sub-clauses consistent? That is,

or
if @page is a regular filesystem backed page cache page or a lazily
freed anonymous page
But I know that my English grammar isn't good enough :-(
