My intention was to finish converting aops for the next merge window.

However, it seems to me that we goofed back in 2016 by merging
commit bda807d44454. isolate_page() and putback_page() should
never have been part of address_space_operations.

I'm about to embark on creating a new migrate_operations struct
for drivers to use that contains only isolate/putback/migrate.
No filesystem uses isolate/putback, so those can just be deleted.
Both migrate_operations & address_space_operations will contain a
migrate callback.
