I was little bit surprised that alloc_migration_target still uses
private argument while it only accepts migration_target_control
structure pointer but then I have noticed that you are using it as a
real callback in a later patch.

Few questions inline

This could be .namsk = NULL, right? alloc_migration_target doesn't
modify the node mask and NULL nodemask is always interpreted as all
available nodes.

What's up with this gfp_mask modification?

nmask = NULL again
