rmap: move exclusively owned pages to own anon_vma in do_wp_page()

When the parent process breaks the COW on a page, both the original which
is mapped at child and the new page which is mapped parent end up in that
same anon_vma.  Generally this won't be a problem, but for some workloads
it could preserve the O(N) rmap scanning complexity.

A simple fix is to ensure that, when a page which is mapped child gets
reused in do_wp_page, because we already are the exclusive owner, the page
gets moved to our own exclusive child's anon_vma.
