This is a fix for page migration under speculative page lookup protocol.

==
In speculative page cache lookup protocol, page_count(page) is set to 0
while radix-tree midification is going on, truncation, migration, etc...
While page migration, a page fault to page under migration should wait
unlock_page() and migration_entry_wait() waits for the page from its
pte entry. It does get_page() -> wait_on_page_locked() -> put_page() now.
In page migration, page_freeze_refs() -> page_unfreeze_refs() is called.
Here, page_unfreeze_refs() expects page_count(page) == 0 and panics
if page_count(page) != 0. To avoid this, we shouldn't touch page_count()
if it is zero. This patch uses page_cache_get_speculative() to avoid
the panic.
