mm: migration: do not try to migrate unmapped anonymous pages

rmap_walk_anon() was triggering errors in memory compaction that look like
use-after-free errors.  The problem is that between the page being
isolated from the LRU and rcu_read_lock() being taken, the mapcount of the
page dropped to 0 and the anon_vma gets freed.  This can happen during
memory compaction if pages being migrated belong to a process that exits
before migration completes.  Hence, the use-after-free race looks like

 1. Page isolated for migration
 2. Process exits
 3. page_mapcount(page) drops to zero so anon_vma was no longer reliable
 4. unmap_and_move() takes the rcu_lock but the anon_vma is already garbage
 4. call try_to_unmap, looks up tha anon_vma and "locks" it but the lock
    is garbage.

This patch checks the mapcount after the rcu lock is taken.  If the
mapcount is zero, the anon_vma is assumed to be freed and no further
action is taken.
