[Devel] [PATCH rh7] x86/mm: Use dirty bit for non-linear files ptes

[Andrey Ryabinin]

backported patchset "Workaround for Xeon Phi PTE A/D bits erratum"

_PAGE_BIT_FILE is not present in upstream but still present
in RHEL7 kernel, so they did this:
   /* Pick a bit unaffected by the "KNL4 erratum": */
   #define _PAGE_BIT_FILE		_PAGE_BIT_PSE

   Which conflicts with ours code:
   #define _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY	_PAGE_PSE

So, as temporary fix restore old value for _PAGE_FILE.
If we care about supporting Xeon Phi we could backport
remap_file_pages() emulation from upstream which removes uses _PAGE_FILE.
