Re: [PATCH v5 34/38] mm: eliminate VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS check in lru_gen_look_around()

A fixed or non-mm-managed mapping is one which sets VMA_PFNMAP_BIT,
VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT or VMA_DONTEXPAND_BIT, which is precisely what
VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS tests for other than VMA_IO_BIT, which is safe to drop as
mm-managed mappings may not set it.

Using these predicates rather than VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS makes the check
self-documenting and helps eliminate the confusion around 'special' flags.

No functional change intended.
