Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm/migrate.c: fix potential indeterminate pte entry in migrate_vma_insert_page()

If the zone device page does not belong to un-addressable device memory,
the variable entry will be uninitialized and lead to indeterminate pte
entry ultimately. Fix this unexpectant case and warn about it.
