[RFC/PATCH 1/3] swap: allow adding of pages to tail of anonymous inactive queue

[Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When moving a page of anonymous data out of zcache and back
into swap cache, such pages are VERY inactive, and we want
them to be swapped to disk ASAP.  So we need to add them
at the tail of the proper queue.
