[PATCH 3/9] mm/migrate: Add a unmap and pin migration mode

Some drivers need to ensure that a device has access to a particular
user page whilst preventing userspace access to that page. For example
this is required to allow a driver to implement atomic access to a page
when the device hardware does not support atomic access to system
memory.

This could be implemented by migrating the data to the device, however
this is not always optimal and may fail in some circumstances. In these
cases it is advantageous to remap the page for device access without
actually migrating the data.

To allow this kind of access introduce an unmap and pin flag called
MIGRATE_PFN_PIN/UNPIN for migration pfns. This will cause the original
page to be remapped to the provided device private page as normal, but
instead of returning or freeing the original CPU page it will pin it and
leave it isolated from the LRU.

This ensures the page remains pinned so that a device may access it
exclusively. Any userspace CPU accesses will fault and trigger the
normal device private migrate_to_ram() callback which must migrate the
mapping back to the original page, after which the device will no longer
have exclusive access to the page.

As the original page does not get freed it is safe to allow the unmap
and pin operation to proceed in cases where there are extra page
references present.
