Cleanup has bitmap_clear which needs be under spinlock, so this order
of setup/alloc and cleanup will keep things simple is what I felt.

Sure.

spage is NULL for zero page. In this case we return success but there is
no UV_PAGE_IN involved.

Absence of MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE indicates that the requested page
can't be migrated. I haven't hit this case till now. Similar check
is also present in the nouveau driver. I am not sure if this is strictly
needed here.

Christoph, Jason - do you know if !(*mig.src & MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE)
check is required and if so in which cases will it be true?

Yeah will rephrase.
