[PATCH] page migration cleanup: drop nr_refs in remove_references()

Drop nr_refs parameter from migrate_page_remove_references()

The nr_refs parameter is not really useful since the number of remaining
references is always

1 for anonymous pages without a mapping
2 for pages with a mapping
3 for pages with a mapping and PagePrivate set.

Remove the early check for the number of references since we are checking
page_mapcount() earlier.  Ultimately only the refcount matters after the
tree_lock has been obtained.
