Subject: include/linux/mm.h: move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h
nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h. The
advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete includes. For
example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more since it has already
included mm.h. Similarly, after checking all the other files, it comes
that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,... follow the same rule, so these files can
have swap.h removed too.
Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages,
it turns out that those files have already included mm.h.Thus, we can move
nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely. This change will not
affect the compilation of other files.
