[PATCH] migrate_pages: silence gcc notes for mis-casting

[Huang Ying]

The following GCC notes was reported for commit 64c8902ed441
("migrate_pages: split unmap_and_move() to _unmap() and _move()").

    mm/migrate.c: In function ‘__migrate_folio_extract’:
    mm/migrate.c:1050:20: note: randstruct: casting between randomized
structure pointer types (ssa): ‘struct anon_vma’ and ‘struct
address_space’

     1050 |         *anon_vmap = (void *)dst->mapping;
          |         ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The casting itself is safe.  Because we only use dst->mapping to store
the pointer itself temporarily and dst is a newly allocated folio and
not used by anyone else during that.  But the notes should be silenced
and some comments are deserved.  So, we do that in this patch.
