Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 1/5] mm: make alloc_demote_folio externally invokable for migration

From: Honggyu Kim <honggyu.kim@...com>

The alloc_demote_folio can be used out of vmscan.c so it'd be better to
remove static keyword from it.

This function can also be used for both demotion and promotion so it'd
be better to rename it from alloc_demote_folio to alloc_migrate_folio.
