Why don't we check ksm_refcount here? Also, why drop_anon_vma() doesn't
need check migrate_refcount?

plus, if we add this logic, we can remove SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU from 
anon_vma_cachep and rcu_read_lock() from unmap_and_move(), I think.
It is for preventing anon_vma recycle logic. but no free directly mean
no memory recycle.
