ksm: no debug in page_dup_rmap()
page_dup_rmap(), used on each mapped page when forking, was originally
just an inline atomic_inc of mapcount. 2.6.22 added CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
out-of-line checks to it, which would need to be ever-so-slightly
complicated to allow for the PageKsm() we're about to define.
But I think these checks never caught anything. And if it's coding errors
we're worried about, such checks should be in page_remove_rmap() too, not
just when forking; whereas if it's pagetable corruption we're worried
about, then they shouldn't be limited to CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
Oh, just revert page_dup_rmap() to an inline atomic_inc of mapcount.
