Subject[RFC] mm: change mm_advise_free to clear page dirty
This patch add ClearPageDirty() to clear AnonPage dirty flag,
the Anonpage mapcount must be 1, so that this page is only used by
the current process, not shared by other process like fork().
if not clear page dirty for this anon page, the page will never be
treated as freeable.
