Do we need the FOLL_CMA_MIGRATE flag? Wondering whether a long term pin
won't imply a CMA migrate? What is the benefit of that FOLL_CMA_MIGRATE
flags. We can do better by taking a list of pages for migration and I
guess it is much simpler if we limit that migration logic to
get_user_pages_longterm()?

I ended up with something like below. Do you suggest we should add those
isolate_lru and other details via FOLL_CMA_MIGRATE flag and do that when
we take the page reference instead of doing this by iterating the page array in
get_user_pages_longterm as in the below diff?
