Subject: [PATCH v6] mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page

Pages on CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA
so current is_pinnable_page could miss CMA pages which has MIGRATE_
ISOLATE. It ends up pinning CMA pages as longterm at pin_user_pages
APIs so CMA allocation keep failed until the pin is released.

change pageblock as MIGRATE_ISOLATE
                                        internal_get_user_pages_fast
                                        lockless_pages_from_mm
                                        gup_pte_range

                                        is_pinnable_page
                                          return true;
                                        So, pinned the page successfully.
page migration failure with pinned page
                                        ..
                                        .. After 30 sec
                                        unpin_user_page(page)

CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec.

The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race
using zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the
page is on CMA area or not rather than exact migration type.
Thus, we don't need zone->lock but just checks migration type in
either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA).

Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause
rejecting of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even
though it's neither CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily
unmovable. However, such a migration failure by unexpected temporal
refcount holding is general issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE
and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also transient state like other temporal
elevated refcount problem.
