[PATCH] swapoff: activate pages
People like to use swapoff/swapon as a way of restoring their VM to a
predictable "preconditional" state.
Problem is, swapoff leaves mapped anon/pagecache pages on the inactive list,
so they immediately get swapped out again when swapspace becomes available.
Let's move these pages onto the active list to the VM has to again decide
whether to swap them out.
