Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] mm: don't set PROT_NONE to maybe-dma-pinned pages for NUMA-migrate purpose

Don't set PROT_NONE for exclusive anonymas and maybe-dma-pinned pages for
NUMA migration purpose.

For exclusive anonymas and page_maybe_dma_pinned() pages, NUMA-migration
will eventually drop migration of those pages in try_to_migrate_one().
(i.e. after -EBUSY returned in page_try_share_anon_rmap()).

So, skip setting PROT_NONE to those kind of pages earlier in
change_protection_range() phase to avoid later futile page faults,
detections, and restoration to original PTEs/PMDs.
