[PATCH] page migration cleanup: extract try_to_unmap from migration functions

Browse source 
Extract try_to_unmap and rename remove_references -> move_mapping

try_to_unmap() may significantly change the page state by for example setting
the dirty bit.  It is therefore best to unmap in migrate_pages() before
calling any migration functions.

migrate_page_remove_references() will then only move the new page in place of
the old page in the mapping.  Rename the function to
migrate_page_move_mapping().

This allows us to get rid of the special unmapping for the fallback path.
