Subject: [PATCH v4 09/13] 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(). Now new_pte is none, so
hpage_collapse_scan_file() path can not find this by traversing
file->f_mapping, so there is no concurrency with retract_page_tables(). In
addition, we already hold the exclusive mmap_lock, so this new_pte page is
stable, so there is no need to get pmdval and do pmd_same() check.
