To create a migrate entry from a given struct page, that page is first
converted to its pfn, before passing the pfn to migrate_pfn().
A future change will remove device private pages from the physical
address space. This will mean that device private pages no longer have a
pfn and must be handled separately.
Prepare for this with a new helper:
- migrate_pfn_from_page()
This helper takes a struct page as parameter instead of a pfn. This will
allow more flexibility for handling the mpfn differently for device
private pages.
