ksm: three remove_rmap_item_from_tree cleanups
1. remove_rmap_item_from_tree() is called as a precaution from
various places: don't dirty the rmap_item cacheline unnecessarily,
just mask the flags out of the address when they have been set.
2. First get_next_rmap_item() removes an unstable rmap_item from its tree,
then shortly afterwards cmp_and_merge_page() removes a stable rmap_item
from its tree: it's easier just to do both at once (but definitely keep
the BUG_ON(age > 1) which guards against a future omission).
3. When cmp_and_merge_page() moves an rmap_item from unstable to stable
tree, it does its own rb_erase() and accounting: that's better
expressed by remove_rmap_item_from_tree().
