Some pages could be shared by several processes. (ex, libc)
In case of that, it's too bad to reclaim them from the beginnig.
This patch causes VM to keep them on memory until last task
try to reclaim them so shared pages will be reclaimed only if
all of task has gone swapping out.
This feature doesn't handle non-linear mapping on ramfs because
it's very time-consuming and doesn't make sure of reclaiming and
not common.
