Subject: [HMM v14 01/16] mm/free_hot_cold_page: catch ZONE_DEVICE pages

Catch page from ZONE_DEVICE in free_hot_cold_page(). This should never
happen as ZONE_DEVICE page must always have an elevated refcount.

This is safety-net to catch any refcounting issues in a sane way for any
ZONE_DEVICE pages.
