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...
