[PATCH] mm: migration page refcounting fix
Migration code currently does not take a reference to target page
properly, so between unlocking the pte and trying to take a new
reference to the page with isolate_lru_page, anything could happen to
it.
Fix this by holding the pte lock until we get a chance to elevate the
refcount.
Other small cleanups while we're here.
