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.
