[PATCH] exempt swapcahe pages from "use once" handling

The kernel will presently reclaim swapcache pages as they come off the
tail of the inactive list even if they are referenced.  That's the
"use-once" pagecache path and shouldn't be applied to swapcache pages.

This affects very few pages in practice because all those pages tend to
be mapped into pagetables anyway.
