    aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane · 8e321fef

    The arbitrary restriction on page counts offered by the core
    migrate_page_move_mapping() code results in rather suspicious looking
    fiddling with page reference counts in the aio_migratepage() operation.
    To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter
    that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page
    being migrated.
    
    While cleaning up aio_migratepage(), make it validate that the old page
    being passed in is actually what aio_migratepage() expects to prevent
    misbehaviour in the case of races.
