Pavankumar Kondeti fd3b1bc3c8 mm/madvise: fix madvise_pageout for private file mappings
When MADV_PAGEOUT is called on a private file mapping VMA region, we bail
out early if the process is neither owner nor write capable of the file. 
However, this VMA may have both private/shared clean pages and private
dirty pages.  The opportunity of paging out the private dirty pages (Anon
pages) is missed.  Fix this behavior by allowing private file mappings
pageout further and perform the file access check along with PageAnon()
during page walk.

We observe ~10% improvement in zram usage, thus leaving more available
memory on a 4GB RAM system running Android.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
