mm: more rmap checking

Browse Source 
Re-introduce rmap verification patches that Hugh removed when he removed
PG_map_lock. PG_map_lock actually isn't needed to synchronise access to
anonymous pages, because PG_locked and PTL together already do.

These checks were important in discovering and fixing a rare rmap corruption
in SLES9.
