Subject: [PATCH v2 09/14] mm: mremap: move_ptes() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()

In move_ptes(), we may modify the new_pte after acquiring the new_ptl, so
convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). But since we already hold
the exclusive mmap_lock, there is no need to get pmdval to do pmd_same()
check, just pass a dummy variable to it.
