Subject: mm-add-get_kernel_page-for-pinning-of-kernel-addresses-for-i-o-fix
get_kernel_pages was put in memory.c beside get_user_pages but this only
works for CONFIG_MMU. As there is nothing special to be done for
!CONFIG_MMU, this build fix moves the functions to mm/swap.c which is the
next best fit.
