is_migrate_movable() isn't a check for the ZONE. It's a check for the
MIGRATE_TYPE. MIGRATE_TYPE doesn't require hard guarantee for
migration, and, most of memory, including ZONE_NORMAL, is
MIGRATE_MOVABLE. With this code, long term gup would always fails due
to not enough memory. I think that correct change would be
"is_migrate_cma_page(hear) && zone == ZONE_MOVABLE".

Patch #5 also has this problem. Please fix it too.

Thanks.
