Vitaly Wool 1f862989b0 mm/z3fold.c: support page migration
Now that we are not using page address in handles directly, we can make
z3fold pages movable to decrease the memory fragmentation z3fold may
create over time.

This patch starts advertising non-headless z3fold pages as movable and
uses the existing kernel infrastructure to implement moving of such pages
per memory management subsystem's request.  It thus implements 3 required
callbacks for page migration:

* isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by
  removing it from all lists.  Pages scheduled for some activity and
  mapped pages will not be isolated.  Return true if isolation was
  successful or false otherwise

* migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical
  conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the
  memory subsystem.  Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise

* putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if
  z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i.  e.  not with
  -EAGAIN code).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
