nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h.
The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete includes.
For example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more since it has
already included mm.h.
Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages,
it turns out that those files have already included mm.h.
Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely. This change
will not affect the compilation of other files.

In general, we're trying to move in the other direction; move things out
of mm.h and reduce the number of files which include mm.h.  That said,
I don't see what nr_free_buffer_pages() has to do with the rest of
swap.h, so I'm OK with moving this over.

That said, there are a number of other files which should have swap.h
removed.  eg:

drivers/mmc/core/mmc_test.c:#include <linux/swap.h>             /* For nr_free_buffer_pages() */

and it would be good to check the other files which use
nr_free_buffer_pages() to see if they can have swap.h removed too.

Please remove the 'extern' while you're moving this.

If you're interested in cleaning up the headers, it'd be nice if less
of the networking code depended on pagemap.h ...
