This is a patch against the problme Shaohua rported.
Just an idea for fix the problem.
How do you think ? dummy vma is better ? (I don't like dummy vma.)

In migration fallback path, write_page() or lock_page() will be called.
This causes sleep with holding rcu_read_lock().
For avoding that, just do rcu_lock if the page is Anon.(this is enough.)
