Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Migrate device coherent pages on get_user_pages()

Device coherent pages represent memory on a coherently attached device such
as a GPU which is usually under the control of a driver. These pages should
not be pinned as the driver needs to be able to move pages as required.
Currently this is enforced by failing any attempt to pin a device coherent
page.

A similar problem exists for ZONE_MOVABLE pages. In that case though the
pages are migrated instead of causing failure. There is no reason the
kernel can't migrate device coherent pages so this series implements
migration for device coherent pages so the same strategy of migrate and pin
can be used.

This series depends on the series "Add MEMORY_DEVICE_COHERENT for coherent
device memory mapping"[1] which is in linux-next-20220204 and should apply
cleanly to that.
