I vaguely recall commenting on this previously, or at least intending
to. In try_to_migrate_one() we have this:

		if (folio_is_zone_device(folio)) {
			unsigned long pfn = folio_pfn(folio);
			swp_entry_t entry;
			pte_t swp_pte;

			/*
			 * Store the pfn of the page in a special migration
			 * pte. do_swap_page() will wait until the migration
			 * pte is removed and then restart fault handling.
			 */
			entry = pte_to_swp_entry(pteval);
			if (is_writable_device_private_entry(entry))
				entry = make_writable_migration_entry(pfn);
			else
				entry = make_readable_migration_entry(pfn);
			swp_pte = swp_entry_to_pte(entry);

The check in try_to_migrate() guarantees that if folio_is_zone_device()
is true this must be a DEVICE_PRIVATE page and it treats it as such by
assuming there is a special device private swap entry there.

Relying on that assumption seems bad, and I have no idea why I didn't
just use is_device_private_page() originally but I think the fix is just
to change this to:

		if (folio_is_device_private(folio))

And let DEVICE_COHERENT pages fall through to normal page processing.
