I added the get_page() and therefore the fault_page argument to deal
with another lifetime issue. Neither Felix nor I particularly liked the
solution though (see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.60659b549d8509ddecafad4f498ee7f03bb23c69.1664366292.git-series.apopple@nvidia.com/T/#m715589d57716448386ff9af41da27a952d94615a)
and this seems to make it even uglier, so I have suggested an
alternative solution below.

I haven't seen the same in the NVIDIA UVM driver (out-of-tree, I know)
but theoretically it seems like it should be possible. However we
serialize migrations of the same virtual address range to avoid these
kind of issues as they can happen the other way too (ie. multiple
threads trying to migrate to GPU).
So I suspect what happens in UVM is that one thread wins and installs
the migration entry while the others fail to get the driver migration
lock and bail out sufficiently early in the fault path to avoid the
live-lock.

This is all beginning to look a lot like migrate_vma_collect_pmd(). So
rather than do this and then have to pass all this context
(ie. fault_page) down to the migrate_vma_* functions could we instead
just do what migrate_vma_collect_pmd() does here? Ie. we already have
the PTL and the page lock so there's no reason we couldn't just setup
the migration entry prior to calling migrate_to_ram().
Obviously calling migrate_vma_setup() would show the page as not
migrating, but drivers could easily just fill in the src_pfn info after
calling migrate_vma_setup().
This would eliminate the whole fault_page ugliness.
