[PATCH 4/6] mm, migrate: Drop references to successfully migrated pages at the same time

[Mel Gorman]

After each migration attempt, putback_lru_page() is used to drop the last
reference to the page.  This is fine but it prevents the batching of TLB
flushes because the flush must happen before a free. This patch drops all
the migrated pages at once in preparation for batching the TLB flush.
