get_user_pages() always tries to allocate pages from movable zone, which is not
reliable to memory hotremove framework in some case.
This patch introduces a new library function called get_user_pages_non_movable()
to pin pages only from zone non-movable in memory.
It's a wrapper of get_user_pages() but it makes sure that all pages come from
non-movable zone via additional page migration.
