migrate_pages: restrict number of pages to migrate in batch



This is a preparation patch to batch the folio unmapping and moving for
non-hugetlb folios.

If we had batched the folio unmapping, all folios to be migrated would be
unmapped before copying the contents and flags of the folios.  If the
folios that were passed to migrate_pages() were too many in unit of pages,
the execution of the processes would be stopped for too long time, thus
too long latency.  For example, migrate_pages() syscall will call
migrate_pages() with all folios of a process.  To avoid this possible
issue, in this patch, we restrict the number of pages to be migrated to be
no more than HPAGE_PMD_NR.  That is, the influence is at the same level of
THP migration.
