As Andrew points out this no longer applies due to changes here. I think you
can just drop this hunk though.

As I understand things ptes for device coherent pages don't need special
treatment, therefore rather than special casing here it should just fall
through to the same path as normal pages. For that I think all you need is
something like:

-                if (is_zone_device_page(page)) {
+                if (is_device_private_page(page)) {

Noting that device private pages are the only zone device pages that could
have been encountered here anyway.
