[PATCH -next] net/ipv4/tcp.c: remove superfluous header file in tcp.c

[PATCH -next] net/ipv4/tcp.c: remove superfluous header file in tcp.c

[Mianhan Liu]

nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h,
and then tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h. Moreover, after preprocessing
all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files
have already included mm.h.
Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely
so as to reduce the obsolete includes.

Not sure why tcp gets a special treatment.
Patch title does not match changelog at all.

You should submit a pure mm patch, then eventually one networking follow up.
