When mremap()ing virtual addresses, some architectures (read: MIPS) switches
underlying pages if encountering ZERO_PAGE(old_vaddr) != ZERO_PAGE(new_vaddr).

The problem is that the refcount and mapcount remain on the old page, while
the actual pte is switched to the new one. This would counter underruns and
confuse the rmap code.

Fix it by actually moving accounting info to the new page. Would it be neater
to do this in move_pte? maybe rmap.c? (nick mumbles something about not
accounting ZERO_PAGE()s)
