mm: migration: factor out code to compute expected number of page references

Patch series "mm: migrate: Fix page migration stalls for blkdev pages".

This patchset deals with page migration stalls that were reported by our
customer due to a block device page that had a bufferhead that was in the
bh LRU cache.

The patchset modifies the page migration code so that bufferheads are
completely handled inside buffer_migrate_page() and then provides a new
migration helper for pages with buffer heads that is safe to use even for
block device pages and that also deals with bh lrus.

This patch (of 6):

Factor out function to compute number of expected page references in
migrate_page_move_mapping().  Note that we move hpage_nr_pages() and
page_has_private() checks from under xas_lock_irq() however this is safe
since we hold page lock.
