Why is all this suddenly happening.  Did we change something, or did a
new test get added to trinity?

Is there any reason why rmap_walk_ksm() and rmap_walk_file() *need*
PageLocked() whereas rmap_walk_anon() does not?  If so, let's implement
it like this:

Or if there is no reason why the page must be locked for
rmap_walk_ksm() and rmap_walk_file(), let's just remove rmap_walk()'s
VM_BUG_ON()?  And rmap_walk_ksm()'s as well - it's duplicative anyway.
