Ok, here is my patch for _fix_. But still testing...
Running well at least for 30 minutes, where I can see bug in 10minutes.
But this patch is too naive. please think about something better fix.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>
At adjust_vma(), vma's start address and pgoff is updated under
write lock of mmap_sem. This means the vma's rmap information
update is atoimic only under read lock of mmap_sem.
Even if it's not atomic, in usual case, try_to_ummap() etc...
just fails to decrease mapcount to be 0. no problem.
But at page migration's rmap_walk(), it requires to know all
migration_entry in page tables and recover mapcount.
So, this race in vma's address is critical. When rmap_walk meet
the race, rmap_walk will mistakenly get -EFAULT and don't call
rmap_one(). This patch adds a lock for vma's rmap information.
But, this is _very slow_.
We need something sophisitcated, light-weight update for this..
