KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki dc386d4d1e memory unplug: migration by kernel 
In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call.
(mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.)
This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions.

But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid
some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition.

1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have
   to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap().

2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as
   it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping.
   So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from
   being freed during migration.
