mm: migration: use rcu_dereference_protected when dereferencing the radix tree slot during file page migration migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move() only calls rcu_read_lock() for anonymous pages, as introduced by git commit 989f89c5 ("fix rcu_read_lock() in page migraton"). The point of the RCU protection there is part of getting a stable reference to anon_vma and is only held for anon pages as file pages are locked which is sufficient protection against freeing. However, while a file page's mapping is being migrated, the radix tree is double checked to ensure it is the expected page. This uses radix_tree_deref_slot() -> rcu_dereference() without the RCU lock held triggering the following warning.
