mm: fix swapops.h:131 bug if remap_file_pages raced migration
Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity: indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the migration entries that was temporarily inserted. The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree (good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages() range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range). remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race. The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this; but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

/*
+ * Congratulations to trinity for discovering this bug.
+ * mm/fremap.c's remap_file_pages() accepts any range within a single vma to
+ * convert that vma to VM_NONLINEAR; and generic_file_remap_pages() will then
+ * replace the specified range by file ptes throughout (maybe populated after).
+ * If page migration finds a page within that range, while it's still located
+ * by vma_interval_tree rather than lost to i_mmap_nonlinear list, no problem:
+ * zap_pte() clears the temporary migration entry before mmap_sem is dropped.
+ * But if the migrating page is in a part of the vma outside the range to be
+ * remapped, then it will not be cleared, and remove_migration_ptes() needs to
+ * deal with it. Fortunately, this part of the vma is of course still linear,
+ * so we just need to use linear location on the nonlinear list.
