mm/rmap.c: avoid double faults migrating device private pages
During migration special page table entries are installed for each page
being migrated. These entries store the pfn and associated permissions
of ptes mapping the page being migarted.
Device-private pages use special swap pte entries to distinguish
read-only vs. writeable pages which the migration code checks when
creating migration entries. Normally this follows a fast path in
migrate_vma_collect_pmd() which correctly copies the permissions of
device-private pages over to migration entries when migrating pages back
to the CPU.
However the slow-path falls back to using try_to_migrate() which
unconditionally creates read-only migration entries for device-private
pages. This leads to unnecessary double faults on the CPU as the new
pages are always mapped read-only even when they could be mapped
writeable. Fix this by correctly copying device-private permissions in
try_to_migrate_one().
