This is a preparation patch to batch the folio unmapping and moving
for the non-hugetlb folios. Based on that we can batch the TLB
shootdown during the folio migration and make it possible to use some
hardware accelerator for the folio copying.

In this patch the hugetlb folios and non-hugetlb folios migration is
separated in migrate_pages() to make it easy to change the non-hugetlb
folios migration implementation.

How about continue migrate small page for -ENOMEM case? maybe
there are still
free small pages.
Sounds reasonable to me. How about do that on top of this series? Do
you have interest to do that?
Happy to do that, thanks for you reply.
