Did you read the rest of the thread on this?  If the page is being
migrated, we should still account it ... also, you've changed the
refcount, so this:

        if (page_count(page) == 1) {
                smaps_page_accumulate(mss, page, size, size << PSS_SHIFT, dirty,
                        locked, true);
                return;
        }

will never trigger.
