mm: simplify page migration's anon_vma comment and flow
__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma() and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow. Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one. Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials. I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique, which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration entries. Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of migration entry ptes like everything else? So lose that comment now, and enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.
