After a quick look, swapcache is counted as file pages and meanwhile
use a swap entry at the same time(__add_to{delete_from}_swap_cache()).
Even though, I think we still do not need to exclude swapcache out,
because it indeed uses two copy of resource: one is swap entry, one is
cache, so the usage should count both of them in.
What I think it matters is that swapcache may be counted as both file
pages and rss(if it's a process's anonymous page), which we need to
subtract # of swapcache to avoid double-counting. But it isn't always
so: a shmem/tmpfs page may use swapcache and be counted as file pages
but not a rss, then we can not subtract swapcache... Is there anything
I lost?
