If the refcount is one when it is migrated, it means that the page
was freed from under us. So we are done and do not need to migrate.

Is this common enough that it would warrant the explicit check for each
migration?

Are you worried about the overhead caused by the check? Thanks.

I am not as worried as I would like to see some actual justification for
this optimization.
