mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function
This function basically does: remove_from_page_cache(old); page_cache_release(old); add_to_page_cache_locked(new); Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to fail because of a race. If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved from the old page to the new. This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache on read, instead of copying the page contents.
