Sorry, I accidentally sent this earlier email before finishing it. 
What I meant to say is since the same situation (inadvertently pinning pages
in movable) may probably arise in the future with another driver, I think it makes
sense to have a generic (non-GUP) version of check_and_migrate_movable_pages()
available in migration.h that drivers can use to ensure that they don't break
memory hotunplug accidentally.

Thanks,
Vivek
