Yes this is indeed useful. Accounting shmem to the page cache was a
mistake because this is more than confusing. Sad we cannot fix that.
I would have just one concern with this patch. You are relying on
PageSwapBacked check but it looks like we are going to implement
MADV_FREE by dropping this flag. I know we do not support MADV_FREE
on shared mappings but if we ever do then the accounting will become
subtly broken. Can/Should we rely on shmem_mapping() check instead?

Other than that the patch looks good to me.
