Hi.
I got this bug while migrating pages only a few times
via memory_migrate of cpuset.
Unfortunately, even if this patch is applied,
I got bad_page problem after hundreds times of page migration
(I'll report it in another mail).
But I believe something like this patch is needed anyway.

I think the page count is not necessarily 1 here, because
migration_entry_wait increases page count and waits for the
page to be unlocked.
So, if the old page is accessed between migrate_page_move_mapping,
which checks the page count, and remove_migration_ptes, page count
would not be 1 here.
Actually, just commenting out get/put_page from migration_entry_wait
works well in my environment(succeeded in hundreds times of page migration),
but modifying migration_entry_wait this way is not good, I think.
This patch depends on Lee Schermerhorn's fix for double unlock_page.
This patch also fixes a race between migrate_entry_wait and
page_freeze_refs in migrate_page_move_mapping.
