This is a preparatory patch that enables batch copying for folios
undergoing migration. By enabling batch copying the folio content, we can
efficiently utilize the capabilities of DMA hardware or multi-threaded
folio copy. It uses MIGRATE_NO_COPY to skip folio copy during metadata
copy process and performed the copies in a batch later.

Currently, the folio move operation is performed individually for each
folio in sequential manner:
for_each_folio() {
        Copy folio metadata like flags and mappings
        Copy the folio content from src to dst
        Update page tables with dst folio
}

With this patch, we transition to a batch processing approach as shown
below:
for_each_folio() {
        Copy folio metadata like flags and mappings
}
Batch copy all src folios to dst
for_each_folio() {
        Update page tables with dst folios
}

dst->private is used to store page states and possible anon_vma value,
thus needs to be cleared during metadata copy process. To avoid additional
memory allocation to store the data during batch copy process, src->private
is used to store the data after metadata copy process, since src is no
longer used.

[Zi Yan: Refactor the patch. Improved the original patch by removing the
need for an extra mig_info allocation (for storing anon_vma and old page
state). Instead, reuse src->private to store the data, making the
implementation simpler and efficient.]
