Hello Andrew,

This patch will make conflict with current mmotm which has
my non-lru page migration work.
It's okay to drop my non-lru page migration work to apply this
bug fix patch in current mmotm because I will try to support
userspace mapped drvier non-lru page Vlastimil pointed out
in that thread.

Thanks.
