To stabilize compound page during split we use migration entries.
The code to implement this is buggy: I wrongly assumed that kernel would
wait migration to finish, before zapping ptes.
But turn out that's not true.
As result if zap_pte_range() races with split_huge_page(), we can end up
with page which is not mapped anymore but has _count and _mapcount
elevated. The page is on LRU too. So it's still reachable by vmscan and by
pfn scanners. It's likely that page->mapping in this case would point to
freed anon_vma.
BOOM!
The patch modify freeze/unfreeze_page() code to match normal migration
entries logic: on setup we remove page from rmap and drop pin, on removing
we get pin back and put page on rmap. This way even if migration entry
will be removed under us we don't corrupt page's state.
