MIGRATE_METADATA pages are special because for the one architecture
(arm64) that use them, it is not possible to have metadata associated
with a page used to store metadata.
To avoid a situation where a page with metadata is being migrated to a
page which cannot have metadata, keep track of whether such pages have
been isolated as the source for migration. When allocating a destination
page for migration, deny allocations from MIGRATE_METADATA if that's the
case.
fast_isolate_freepages() takes pages only from the MIGRATE_MOVABLE list,
which means it is not necessary to have a similar check, as
MIGRATE_METADATA pages will never be considered.
