rmap: always use anon_vma root pointer
Always use anon_vma->root pointer instead of anon_vma_chain.prev. Also optimize the map-paths, if a mapping is already established no need to overwrite it with root anon-vma list, we can keep the more finegrined anon-vma and skip the overwrite: see the PageAnon check in !exclusive case. This is also the optimization that hidden the ksm bug as this tends to make ksm_might_need_to_copy skip the copy, but only the proper fix to ksm_might_need_to_copy guarantees not triggering the ksm bug unless ksm is in use. this is an optimization only...
