mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem
Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls
1. sys_move_pages
2. sys_migrate_pages
3. sys_mbind()
It really does not matter when we flush the lru. The system is free to
add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page
migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy
state (move_pages).
Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock):
Some VM place has
mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all()
net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl() has
rtnl_lock -> mmap_sem (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault.
linkwatch_event has
kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock
