3.16.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Andrey Ryabinin aryabinin@virtuozzo.com
commit 9a63236f1ad82d71a98aa80320b6cb618fb32f44 upstream.
It's possible to hit the WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page)) in remove_stable_node() when it races with __mmput() and squeezes in between ksm_exit() and exit_mmap().
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3295 at mm/ksm.c:888 remove_stable_node+0x10c/0x150
Call Trace: remove_all_stable_nodes+0x12b/0x330 run_store+0x4ef/0x7b0 kernfs_fop_write+0x200/0x420 vfs_write+0x154/0x450 ksys_write+0xf9/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x99/0x510 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
Remove the warning as there is nothing scary going on.
