Currently we always take a folio reference even if migration will not
even be tried or isolation failed, requiring us to grab+drop an additional
reference.

Further, we end up calling folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
might have already been unmapped, because after we dropped the PTL, that
can easily happen. We want to stop touching mapcounts and friends from
such context, and only call folio_likely_mapped_shared() while the folio
is still mapped: mapcount information is pretty much stale and unreliable
otherwise.

So let's move checks into numamigrate_isolate_folio(), rename that
function to migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare(), and call that function
from callsites where we call migrate_misplaced_folio(), but still with
the PTL held.

We can now stop taking temporary folio references, and really only take
a reference if folio isolation succeeded. Doing the
folio_likely_mapped_shared() + golio isolation under PT lock is now similar
to how we handle MADV_PAGEOUT.

While at it, combine the folio_is_file_lru() checks.

Without taking a reference here, is it safe to call mpol_misplaced() on the folio
at the return? Can this folio be freed?

As long as we are holding the PTL, the folio cannot get unmapped and consequently not freed.

Note that if that would be the case (being able to get freed concurrently), even the folio_get() would have been wrong: if it could get freed concurrently, we would have to use folio_try_get*().

Thanks!
