Subject: [v4 3/3] mm: Pause migrc mechanism at high memory pressure
Regression was observed when the system is in high memory pressure with
swap on, where migrc keeps expanding its pending queue and the page
allocator keeps flushing the queue and freeing folios at the same time,
which is meaningless. So temporarily prevented migrc from expanding its
pending queue on that condition.
