vmscan: limit VM_EXEC protection to file pages
commit 41e20983fe553b39bc2b00e07c7a379f0c86a4bc upstream.
It is possible to have !Anon but SwapBacked pages, and some apps could
create huge number of such pages with MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS. These
pages go into the ANON lru list, and hence shall not be protected: we only
care mapped executable files. Failing to do so may trigger OOM.
