In order to avoid using a shrinker, purge volatile ranges on writepage.
This requires deactivating/activating the page ranges together to
ensure relative LRU behavior in purging the volatile ranges.

This no longer requires the volatile range lru so remove that code.
Also add volatile range infrastructure to find a range that contains
a given page.

NOTE: On systems without swap, the VM won't shrink anonymous memory,
so writepage is never called and volatile ranges won't be purged.
This issue will be addressed in a following patch.

I've only been able to do minimal testing, so there's probably much
still wrong with this patch. But hopefully it will provide a concrete
approach for discussion.
