[Devel] [RFC v14][PATCH 24/54] Prepare to support shared memory

[Oren Laadan]

Export functionality to retrieve specific pages from shared memory
given an inode in shmem-fs; this will be used in the next two patches
to provide support for c/r of shared memory.

Handling of shared memory depends on the type of a vma; to classify a
vma we extend the 'struct vma_operations_struct' with a new function
- 'ckpt_vma_type()' - through which a vma will report an integer that
reflects its type.

mm/shmem.c:
- shmem_getpage() and 'enum sgp_type' moved to linux/mm.h
- 'struct vm_operations_struct' extended with '->ckpt_vma_type' function

Changelog[v14]:
  - Introduce patch
