The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up
in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma
reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with
forking servers.

This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can
be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively
owned by the current process, and can be added to the top
anon_vma.

Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared
or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and
add it to the oldest anon_vma.

A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to
page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do
know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.
