[PATCH]: 3/4 mm/rmap.c cleanup

[Nikita Danilov]

mm/rmap.c:page_referenced_one() and mm/rmap.c:try_to_unmap_one() contain
identical code that

 - takes mm->page_table_lock;

 - drills through page tables;

 - checks that correct pte is reached.

Coalesce this into page_check_address()

(Patch is for 2.6.10-rc2)

the 4-level pagetable code is merged into Linus's tree, post-2.6.10.
