[PATCH RFC 00/29] mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)

Based on mm/mm-new.
In the future, as we decouple "struct page" from "struct folio", pages
that support "non-lru page migration" -- movable_ops page migration
such as memory balloons and zsmalloc -- will no longer be folios. They
will not have ->mapping, ->lru, and likely no refcount and no
page lock. But they will have flags :)
This is the first part (other parts not written yet) of decoupling
movable_ops page migration from folio migration.
In this series, we get rid of the ->mapping usage, and start cleaning up
the code + separating it from folio migration.
Migration core will have to be further reworked to not treat movable_ops
pages like folios. This is the first step into that direction.
RFC because I only did some light testing with virtio-balloon + zsmalloc
page migration, and have to polish some patch descriptions.
