[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable

[Kuo-Hsin Yang]

The i915 driver use shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects.
These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan
wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. Mark these pinned
pages as unevictable to speed up vmscan.
