proc/pagemap: walk page tables under pte lock
Lockless access to pte in pagemap_pte_range() might race with page
migration and trigger BUG_ON(!PageLocked()) in migration_entry_to_page():
CPU A (pagemap) CPU B (migration)
lock_page()
try_to_unmap(page, TTU_MIGRATION...)
make_migration_entry()
set_pte_at()
<read *pte>
pte_to_pagemap_entry()
remove_migration_ptes()
unlock_page()
if(is_migration_entry())
migration_entry_to_page()
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page))
Also lockless read might be non-atomic if pte is larger than wordsize.
Other pte walkers (smaps, numa_maps, clear_refs) already lock ptes.
