Subject[PATCH 2/3] ksm: remove page_wrprotect() from rmap.c
Date
Remove page_wrprotect() from rmap.c and instead embedded the needed code
into ksm.c

Hugh pointed out that for the ksm usage case, we dont have to walk over the rmap
and to write protected page after page beacuse when Anonymous page is mapped
more than once, it have to be write protected already, and in a case that it
mapped just once, no need to walk over the rmap, we can instead write protect
it from inside ksm.c.

Thanks.
