The shmem subsytem is kind of a black box: the generic mm code can't
always know where a specific page physically is. This patch adds the
shmem_locate() function to find out the physical location of shmem
pages (resident, in swap or swapcache). If the optional argument count
isn't NULL and the page is resident, it also returns the mapcount value
of this page.
This is intended to allow finer accounting of shmem/tmpfs pages.
