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.

Is there no possibility that page is swap cache? If page is swap cache,
this code changes behavior of move_to_new_page(). Is it O.K.?

Thanks,
