Rik van Riel 56e49d2188 vmscan: evict use-once pages first 
When the file LRU lists are dominated by streaming IO pages, evict those
pages first, before considering evicting other pages.

This should be safe from deadlocks or performance problems
because only three things can happen to an inactive file page:

1) referenced twice and promoted to the active list
2) evicted by the pageout code
3) under IO, after which it will get evicted or promoted

The pages freed in this way can either be reused for streaming IO, or
allocated for something else.  If the pages are used for streaming IO,
this pageout pattern continues.  Otherwise, we will fall back to the
normal pageout pattern.
