commit c28ac3c7eb945fee6e20f47d576af68fdff1392a upstream.
Special VMAs like VM_PFNMAP can contain anon pages from COW. There isn't
much profit in doing lookaround on them. Besides, they can trigger the
pte_special() warning in get_pte_pfn().
Skip them in lru_gen_look_around().

[ adjusted for the pre-6.3 lru_gen_look_around(): 6.1 has no local addr variable and uses pte[i] instead of ptep_get(pte + i) ]
