mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

This function basically does:

     remove_from_page_cache(old);
     page_cache_release(old);
     add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the "add" to
fail because of a race.

If memory cgroups are enabled, then the memory cgroup charge is also moved
from the old page to the new.

This function is currently used by fuse to move pages into the page cache
on read, instead of copying the page contents.
