Subject: mm/compaction: avoid VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount()

isolate_migratepages_block() runs some checks out of lru_lock when
choosing pages for migration.  After checking PageLRU() it checks extra
page references by comparing page_count() and page_mapcount().  Between
these two checks page could be removed from lru, freed and taken by slab.

As a result this race triggers VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount(). 
Race window is tiny.  For certain workload this happens around once a
year.

 kernel BUG at ./include/linux/mm.h:628!
 invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
 CPU: 77 PID: 504 Comm: kcompactd1 Tainted: G        W         4.19.109-27 #1
 Hardware name: Yandex T175-N41-Y3N/MY81-EX0-Y3N, BIOS R05 06/20/2019
 RIP: 0010:isolate_migratepages_block+0x986/0x9b0

To fix just opencode page_mapcount() in racy check for 0-order case and
recheck carefully under lru_lock when page cannot escape from lru.

Also add checking extra references for file pages and swap cache.
