History
Robin Holt cb53237513 mm/ksm.c is doing an unneeded _notify in write_protect_page. 
ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page
does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other
kernel tracking means.  It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB
flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then
using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.

An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users
does not match the page_count.  In that event, we are inserting the
identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather
the simpler set_pte_at suffices.
