mm/ksm: convert break_ksm() to use walk_page_range_vma()
FOLL_MIGRATION exists only for the purpose of break_ksm(), and actually, there is not even the need to wait for the migration to finish, we only want to know if we're dealing with a KSM page. Using follow_page() just to identify a KSM page overcomplicates GUP code. Let's use walk_page_range_vma() instead, because we don't actually care about the page itself, we only need to know a single property -- no need to even grab a reference. So, get rid of follow_page() usage such that we can get rid of FOLL_MIGRATION now and eventually be able to get rid of follow_page() in the future. In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a performance degradation of ~2% (old: ~5010 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s). I don't think we particularly care for now. Interestingly, the benchmark reduction is due to the single callback. Adding a second callback (e.g., pud_entry()) reduces the benchmark by another 100-200 MiB/s.
