[RFC PATCH 5/5] Revert "mm/migrate: __unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU"

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Sun Jun 18 2023 - 02:58:47 EST


This reverts commit c3096e6782b733158bf34f6bbb4567808d4e0740.

That commit made sure we immediately add the new page to the LRU before
remove_migration_ptes() is called in migrate_move_folio() (used to be
__unmap_and_move() back then), such that the rmap walk will rebuild the
correct mlock_count for the page again. This was needed because the
mlock_count was lost when the page is isolated. This is no longer the
case since mlock_count no longer overlays page->lru.

Revert the commit (the code was foliated afterward the commit, so the
revert is updated as such).
