Subject: [PATCH RFC V2 2/9] mm/migrate: revive MIGRATE_NO_COPY in migrate_mode.

From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>

It is a preparation patch. The added MIGRATE_NO_COPY will be used by the
following patches to implement batched page copy functions by skipping
folio copy process in __migrate_folio() and copying folios in one shot
at the end.
