mm: grab rcu read lock in move_pages()
The move_pages() usage of find_task_by_vpid() requires rcu_read_lock() to
prevent free_pid() from reclaiming the pid.
Without this patch, RCU warnings are printed in v2.6.38-rc4 move_pages()
with:
CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
Previously, migrate_pages() went through a similar transformation
replacing usage of tasklist_lock with rcu read lock:
