Subject: [PATCH 1/3] migrate_pages: fix deadlock in batched migration
Two deadlock bugs were reported for the migrate_pages() batching
series. Thanks Hugh and Pengfei! For example, in the following
deadlock trace snippet,
INFO: task kworker/u4:0:9 blocked for more than 147 seconds.
Not tainted 6.2.0-rc4-kvm+ #1314

</TASK>
The page migration task has held the lock of the shmem folio A, and is
waiting the writeback of the folio B of the file system on the loop
block device to complete. While the loop worker task which writes
back the folio B is waiting to lock the shmem folio A, because the
folio A backs the folio B in the loop device. Thus deadlock is
triggered.
In general, if we have locked some other folios except the one we are
migrating, it's not safe to wait synchronously, for example, to wait
the writeback to complete or wait to lock the buffer head.
To fix the deadlock, in this patch, we avoid to batch the page
migration except for MIGRATE_ASYNC mode. In MIGRATE_ASYNC mode,
synchronous waiting is avoided.
The fix can be improved further. We will do that as soon as possible.
