mm/ksm: convert break_ksm() to use walk_page_range_vma()
FOLL_MIGRATION exists only for the purpose of break_ksm(), and actually,
there is not even the need to wait for the migration to finish, we only
want to know if we're dealing with a KSM page.
Using follow_page() just to identify a KSM page overcomplicates GUP code.
Let's use walk_page_range_vma() instead, because we don't actually care
about the page itself, we only need to know a single property -- no need
to even grab a reference.
So, get rid of follow_page() usage such that we can get rid of
FOLL_MIGRATION now and eventually be able to get rid of follow_page() in
the future.
In my setup (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge
performance on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in
a performance degradation of ~2% (old: ~5010 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s). I
don't think we particularly care for now.
Interestingly, the benchmark reduction is due to the single callback.
Adding a second callback (e.g., pud_entry()) reduces the benchmark by
another 100-200 MiB/s.
