[PATCH 2/2] vmscan: activate executable pages after first usage

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org>]

Logic added in commit v2.6.30-5507-g8cab475
(vmscan: make mapped executable pages the first class citizen)
was noticeably weakened in commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474
(vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once)

Currently these pages can become "first class citizens" only after second usage.

After this patch page_check_references() will activate they after first usage,
and executable code gets yet better chance to stay in memory.

TODO:
run some cool tests like in v2.6.30-5507-g8cab475 =)
