Subject: [RESEND PATCH] mm: fix migrate_vma_setup() src_owner and normal pages

The caller of migrate_vma_setup() does not know what type of page is
stored in the CPU's page tables. Pages within the specified range are
free to be swapped out, migrated, or freed until after migrate_vma_setup()
returns. The caller needs to set struct migrate_vma.src_owner in case a
page is a ZONE device private page that the device owns and might want to
migrate. However, the current code skips normal anonymous pages if
src_owner is set, thus preventing those pages from being migrated.
Remove the src_owner check for normal pages since src_owner only applies
to device private pages and allow a range of normal and device private
pages to be migrated.

Fixes: 800bb1c8dc80 ("mm: handle multiple owners of device private pages in migrate_vma")

This is based on 5.8.0-rc2 for Andrew Morton's mm tree.
I believe it can be queued for 5.8-rcX after being reviewed.
This was part of a larger series but I'm resending it separately as
suggested by Jason Gunthorpe.
