Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/migrate: see hole as invalid source page

MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE marks a valid pfn, further more, suitable to migrate.
As for hole, there is no valid pfn, not to mention migration.

Before this patch, hole has already relied on the following code to be
filtered out. Hence it is more reasonable to see hole as invalid source
page.
migrate_vma_prepare()
{
		struct page *page = migrate_pfn_to_page(migrate->src[i]);

		if (!page || (migrate->src[i] & MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE))
		     \_ this condition
}
