Subject: [PATCH v2 11/11] mm/migration: fix possible do_pages_stat_array racing with memory offline

When follow_page peeks a page, the page could be migrated and then be
offlined while it's still being used by the do_pages_stat_array().
Use FOLL_GET to hold the page refcnt to fix this potential race.
