[PATCH 12/14] vrange: Support background purging for vrange-file

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>

Add support to purge vrange file pages via the shrinker interface.

This is useful, since some filesystems like shmem/tmpfs use anonymous
pages, which won't be aged off the page LRU if swap is disabled.
