When migrating system memory to device private memory, if the source
address range is a valid VMA range and there is no memory or a zero page,
the source PFN array is marked as valid but with no PFN. This lets the
device driver allocate private memory and clear it, then insert the new
device private struct page into the CPU's page tables when
migrate_vma_pages() is called. migrate_vma_pages() only inserts the
new page if the VMA is an anonymous range. There is no point in telling
the device driver to allocate device private memory and then throwing
it away. Instead, mark the source PFN array entries as not migrating to
avoid this overhead.
