Your proposal is completely wrong still. My original patch is fine; we can stick
with that.

This memset() zeroes out memory past the end of the array because it is an array
of pointers, not an array of page structs; the sizeof() is incorrect.

You can't use get_first_page() outside of the migrate lock.

You can't lock a page that you don't own.

This doesn't compile.

This doesn't compile.

There's no need to unlock all of the pages that were locked so far because once
a page is locked, it cannot be migrated.

You can't use get_next_page() outside of the migrate lock.
