>From high level:
  - KVM unset MEMFILE_F_UNMOVABLE bit to indicate it capable of
    migrating a page.
  - Introduce new 'migrate' callback(s) to memfile_notifier_ops for KVM
    to register.
  - The callback is hooked to migrate_page() here.
  - Once page migration requested, shmem calls into the 'migrate'
    callback(s) to perform additional steps for encrypted memory (For
    TDX we will call TDH.MEM.PAGE.RELOCATE).
