thp: rewrite freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() with generic rmap walkers
freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() helpers evolved in rather complex beasts. It would be nice to cut complexity of this code. This patch rewrites freeze_page() using standard try_to_unmap(). unfreeze_page() is rewritten with remove_migration_ptes(). The result is much simpler. But the new variant is somewhat slower for PTE-mapped THPs. Current helpers iterates over VMAs the compound page is mapped to, and then over ptes within this VMA. New helpers iterates over small page, then over VMA the small page mapped to, and only then find relevant pte. We have short cut for PMD-mapped THP: we directly install migration entries on PMD split. I don't think the slowdown is critical, considering how much simpler result is and that split_huge_page() is quite rare nowadays. It only happens due memory pressure or migration.
