Subject: fix race between shift_arg_pages and rmap_walk

From: Andrea Arcangeli<aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

migrate.c requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page at
all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it
can't be removed if the second rmap_walk fails to find the page.

And split_huge_page() will have the same requirements as migrate.c
already has.
