Subject: [PATCH] mm: migrate: simplify the file-backed pages validation when
migrating its mapping
There is no need to validate the file-backed page's refcount before
trying to freeze the page's expected refcount, instead we can rely on
the folio_ref_freeze() to validate if the page has the expected refcount
before migrating its mapping.
Moreover we are always under the page lock when migrating the page
mapping, which means nowhere else can remove it from the page cache, so
we can remove the xas_load() validation under the i_pages lock.
