Subject: [RFC 3/6] mm/migrate_pages: restrict number of pages to migrate in batch

This is a preparation patch to batch the page unmapping and moving
for the normal pages and THP.

If we had batched the page unmapping, all pages to be migrated would
be unmapped before copying the contents and flags of the pages.  If
the number of pages that were passed to migrate_pages() was too large,
too many pages would be unmapped.  Then, the execution of their
processes would be stopped for too long time.  For example,
migrate_pages() syscall will call migrate_pages() with all pages of a
process.  To avoid this possible issue, in this patch, we restrict the
number of pages to be migrated to be no more than HPAGE_PMD_NR.  That
is, the influence is at the same level of THP migration.
