mm/migrate: allow migrate_vma() to alloc new page on empty entry

Browse Source 
This allows callers of migrate_vma() to allocate new page for empty CPU
page table entry (pte_none or back by zero page).  This is only for
anonymous memory and it won't allow new page to be instanced if the
userfaultfd is armed.

This is useful to device driver that want to migrate a range of virtual
address and would rather allocate new memory than having to fault later
on.

* driver should avoid setting MIGRATE_PFN_ERROR unless it is really in an

* For empty entry inside CPU page table (pte_none() or pmd_none() is true) we
