[PATCH] shrink_list(): skip anon pages if not may_swap

Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the
scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to
the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted.

Ref:  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4

However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls
try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon ().
 try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap
cache.  Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but
agrees that it might happen.

This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already
in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the
cache.
