Hello Minchan,

I might be missing something here but does this implementation support the
scenario where these non LRU pages owned by the driver mapped as PTE into
process page table ? Because the "goto out_unlock_both" statement above
skips all the PTE unmap, putting a migration PTE and removing the migration
PTE steps.
