lru_add_drain() is also used to drain pages out of folio_batch. Pages in folio_batch
have an additional pin to prevent migration. See folio_get(folio); in folio_add_lru().

It is better to read out the flag, then check page_was_mapped and page_was_mlocked
to avoid future __migrate_folio_extract() interface churns.

Like I said at the top, this would be if (page_was_mapped || page_was_mlocked).
