[PATCH] remove_from_swap: fix locking

remove_from_swap() currently attempts to use page_lock_anon_vma to obtain
an anon_vma lock.  That is not working since the page may have been
remapped via swap ptes in order to move the page.

However, do_migrate_pages() obtain the mmap_sem lock and therefore there is
a guarantee that the anonymous vma will not vanish from under us.  There is
therefore no need to use page_lock_anon_vma.
