[PATCH] own header file for struct page

This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file
page-struct.h.  This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on
s390:

#define SetPageUptodate(_page)
       do {
               struct page *__page = (_page);
               if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags))
                       page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page);
       } while (0)

_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs.  Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes
yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well.

In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good
idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions.
Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate
header file for the struct page definition.
