Subject: [RFC] mm: support MIGRATE_DISCARD
This patch introudes MIGRATE_DISCARD mode in migration.
It drops *unmapped clean cache pages* instead of migration so that
migration latency could be reduced by avoiding (memcpy + page remapping).
It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is very important rather
than eviction of background processes's workingset. In addition, it needs
less free pages for migration targets so it could avoid memory reclaiming
to get free pages, which is another factor increase latency.
