Sorry, but I still don't think this is quite right.

When specifying MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_DEVICE_COHERENT we are looking for pages to
migrate from the device back to system memory. But as currently written I think
this can also select the zero pfn when MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_DEVICE_COHERENT is
specified. As far as I know that can never point to device memory so migration
of a zero pfn should be also be skipped in that case.

We should only migrate the zero pfn if MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_SYSTEM is specified.
