Subject: mm/vmscan: add helper for querying ability to age anonymous pages
Git-commit: 2f368a9fb7f408ba7d4e6d588e1958fe8b780d08
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1247

Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s).  These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained.  But, without swap, there
is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a scanned,
sorted LRU for anonymous pages.

A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as to
whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained.  However, another method will
be added shortly: page demotion.

Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.
