rG92b9138991dd: vm: Introduce VM_ALLOC_NOFREE and PG_NOFREE

Summary

This patch adds two additional vm_page flags to distinguish pages that never get released while the system is running (e.g. UMA_ZONE_NOFREE slabs).
It also serves as a basis for implementing reservation-aware segregation of such pages.
