When migrating an anonymous private page to a ZONE_DEVICE private page,
the source page->mapping and page->index fields are copied to the
destination ZONE_DEVICE struct page and the page_mapcount() is increased.
This is so rmap_walk() can be used to unmap and migrate the page back to
system memory. However, try_to_unmap_one() computes the subpage pointer
from a swap pte which computes an invalid page pointer and a kernel panic
results such as:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffea1fffffffc8

Currently, only single pages can be migrated to device private memory so
no subpage computation is needed and it can be set to "page".

The problem is clear, but the solution still leaves the code ever so slightly
more confusing, and it was already pretty difficult to begin with.

I still hold out hope for some comment documentation at least, and maybe
even just removing the subpage variable (as Jerome mentioned, offline) as
well.

Jerome?
