[patch 4/3] mm: lockless optimisations

[Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>]

add_to_page_cache only deals with newly allocated pages except in the
swap -> shm case. Take advantage of this to optimise add_to_page_cache,
and introduce a new __add_to_page_cache for use on pages other than
newly allocated ones.
