[PATCH] invalidate_complete_page() race fix

If a CPU faults this page into pagetables after invalidate_mapping_pages()
checked page_mapped(), invalidate_complete_page() will still proceed to remove
the page from pagecache.  This leaves the page-faulting process with a
detached page.  If it was MAP_SHARED then file data loss will ensue.

Fix that up by checking the page's refcount after taking tree_lock.
