For migrations called in MIGRATE_SYNC mode, skip migrating the folio if
it is under writeback and has the AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE flag set on its
mapping. If the AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE flag is set on the mapping, the
writeback may take an indeterminate amount of time to complete, and
waits may get stuck.

Ehm, doesn't this mean that any fuse user can essentially completely block CMA allocations, memory compaction, memory hotunplug, memory poisoning... ?!

That sounds very bad.
