Oh thanks! That is a good point and I agree since lru isolation is
atomic the two threads won't see the same pages. migrate_vma_setup()
does LRU isolation after locking the page which is why the potential
exists there. We could potentially switch that around but given
ZONE_DEVICE pages aren't on an lru it wouldn't help much.

I'm not overly familiar with that area but I would assume any filesystem
code doing this would already have to deal with deadlock potential.
