I'm pretty sure I was after putting migratepage function pointer in
shmem_dev_operations struct, but I think that can be done once there
are more functions.
s/dev_private_data/private_data/ and s/dev_priv_data/private_data/
might be in order, too. I should be obvious from context.

This name could be shmem_set_dev_info, if there will be separate _ops
struct in future.

If it's not used by others, should be fine. Not sure if WARN would be
in place, Chris?
