First, thanks for the review comments.

I don't like the extra refcount either, that is why I tried to fix that up
before resending this series. However, you didn't like me just fixing the
refcount only for device private pages and I don't know the dax/pmem code
and peer-to-peer PCIe uses of ZONE_DEVICE pages well enough to say how
long it will take me to fix all the use cases.
So I wanted to make progress on the THP migration code in the mean time.
