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.

Hi David,

I have tested these patches on my system. My system has 2 DRAM nodes and 1 PMEM node. I tested page migration between DRAM nodes and page promotion from PMEM to DRAM.
Both are working fine.

below are the results.

Migration results
=============
numa_pte_updates 18977
numa_huge_pte_updates 0
numa_hint_faults 18504
numa_hint_faults_local 2116
numa_pages_migrated 16388



Promotion Results
===============
nr_sec_page_table_pages 0
nr_iommu_pages 0
nr_swapcached 0
pgpromote_success 16386
pgpromote_candidate 0

Thanks
Donet
