[patch 2/13] leave truncate's orphaned pages on the LRU

[patch 2/13] leave truncate's orphaned pages on the LRU

[Andrew Morton]

Fix to the page reclaim code from Rik.

Anonymous pages which have buffers arise when
truncate_complete_page()'s call to ->releasepage() failed.  Those pages
may still be mapped into process address spaces.

We should not remove them from the LRU, because that makes them
unswappable and they hang around until process exit.
