At least the page should have been pinned by the __get_user_pages_locked
call in __gup_longterm_locked. That refcount is dropped in
check_and_migrate_movable_pages when it returns 0 or an error.

We have to do it this way because page->pgmap->ops->migrate_to_ram can
migrate multiple pages per "CPU page fault" to amortize the cost of
migration. The AMD driver typically migrates 2MB at a time. Calling
page->pgmap->ops->migrate_to_ram for each page would probably be even
less optimal.
