mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE

Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked.  This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments.  So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again.  All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

* page_is_file_cache - should the page be on a file LRU or anon LRU?
* page_is_file_lru - should the page be on a file LRU or anon LRU?
* @page: the page to test
*
* Returns 1 if @page is page cache page backed by a regular filesystem,
* or 0 if @page is anonymous, tmpfs or otherwise ram or swap backed.
* Used by functions that manipulate the LRU lists, to sort a page
* onto the right LRU list.
* Returns 1 if @page is a regular filesystem backed page cache page or a lazily
* freed anonymous page (e.g. via MADV_FREE). Returns 0 if @page is a normal
* anonymous page, a tmpfs page or otherwise ram or swap backed page. Used by
* functions that manipulate the LRU lists, to sort a page onto the right LRU
* list.
*
* We would like to get this info without a page flag, but the state
* needs to survive until the page is last deleted from the LRU, which
* could be as far down as __page_cache_release.
