vmscan: report vm_flags in page_referenced()

Collect vma->vm_flags of the VMAs that actually referenced the page.

This is preparing for more informed reclaim heuristics, eg.  to protect
executable file pages more aggressively.  For now only the VM_EXEC bit
will be used by the caller.

Thanks to Johannes, Peter and Minchan for all the good tips.
