[PATCH 05/10] ksm: no debug in page_dup_rmap()

[Izik Eidus]

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
