page migration: replace radix_tree_lookup_slot with radix_tree_lockup

The radix tree rcu code runs into trouble when we use radix_tree_lookup
slot and use the slot to update the page reference. Use radix_tree_lookup
instead and update the page reference via radix_tree_delete and
radix_tree_insert.
