Subject: [PATCH 3.11 54/66] mm: migration: do not lose soft dirty bit if page is in migration state

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@...il.com>

commit c3d16e16522fe3fe8759735850a0676da18f4b1d upstream.

If page migration is turned on in config and the page is migrating, we
may lose the soft dirty bit.  If fork and mprotect are called on
migrating pages (once migration is complete) pages do not obtain the
soft dirty bit in the correspond pte entries.  Fix it adding an
appropriate test on swap entries.
