When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages()
is called to migrate pages out of zones which should not contain any
longterm pinned pages.
When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning
needs to be retried. Migration can also fail, in which case the pages
will also have been unpinned but the operation should not be retried. If
all pages are in the correct zone nothing will be unpinned and no retry
is required.
The logic in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() tracks unnecessary state
and the return codes for each case are difficult to follow. Refactor the
code to clean this up. No behaviour change is intended.

Changes for v2:
- Split into different functions as suggested by John.
- Made error handling more conventional as requested by Jason.
Personally I'm not entirely convinced the conventional approach to error
handling is easier to follow here but have left it in for feedback as I
might be getting too familiar with the code.
Originally posted as "mm/gup.c: Simplify and fix
check_and_migrate_movable_pages() return codes"[1].
Changes from that version:
- Restore the original isolation failure behaviour and don't fail the
pup. Instead retry indefinitely.
- Unpin all pages on retry or failure rather than just failure.

There is an uneasy mixing of int and long and unsigned long. Instead, this
should use unsigned long whenever it deals with nr_pages. Like here.

unpin_user_page(pages[i]);

Is this correct? The loop covers all of nr_pages, so we are setting every
pages[i] = NULL, for non-DEV_COHERENT cases. This seems wrong.

This seems to add some holes in the handling of error cases. If -EBUSY
or -ENOMEM happens, then we return an -errno, rather than the number
of pinned pages. But some pages may have been pinned.
Previously it just looped if there was any error, so that couldn't
happen.
