mm: unmapped page migration avoid unmap+remap overhead
Page migration's __unmap_and_move(), and rmap's try_to_unmap(), were created for use on pages almost certainly mapped into userspace. But nowadays compaction often applies them to unmapped page cache pages: which may exacerbate contention on i_mmap_rwsem quite unnecessarily, since try_to_unmap_file() makes no preliminary page_mapped() check. Now check page_mapped() in __unmap_and_move(); and avoid repeating the same overhead in rmap_walk_file() - don't remove_migration_ptes() when we never inserted any. (The PageAnon(page) comment blocks now look even sillier than before, but clean that up on some other occasion. And note in passing that try_to_unmap_one() does not use a migration entry when PageSwapCache, so remove_migration_ptes() will then not update that swap entry to newpage pte: not a big deal, but something else to clean up later.) Davidlohr remarked in "mm,fs: introduce helpers around the i_mmap_mutex" conversion to i_mmap_rwsem, that "The biggest winner of these changes is migration": a part of the reason might be all of that unnecessary taking of i_mmap_mutex in page migration; and it's rather a shame that I didn't get around to sending this patch in before his - this one is much less useful after Davidlohr's conversion to rwsem, but still good.
