Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc6.mm2] revert migrate_move_mapping to use direct
	radix tree slot update



Now that the problem with the rcu radix tree replace slot function has
been fixed, we can, if Christoph agrees:

Revert migrate_page_move_mapping() to use direct radix tree
slot replacement.  Fix up variable types to match modified
interfaces to radix_tree_{deref|replace}_slot().
