vmscan: limit VM_EXEC protection to file pages
It is possible to have !Anon but SwapBacked pages, and some apps could create huge number of such pages with MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS. These pages go into the ANON lru list, and hence shall not be protected: we only care mapped executable files. Failing to do so may trigger OOM.
