[PATCH] do_wp_page: cannot share file page
A small optimization to do_wp_page's check for whether to avoid copy by reusing the page already mapped. It can never share a cached file page, nor can it share a reserved page (often the empty zero page), so it's a waste of time to lock and unlock in those cases. Which nowadays can both be neatly excluded by a preliminary PageAnon test. Christoph has reported that a preliminary page_count test proved valuable for scalability here, but PageAnon covers more common cases all at once.
