[RFC PATCH v12 12/33] mm: Add AS_UNMOVABLE to mark mapping as completely unmovable

Add an "unmovable" flag for mappings that cannot be migrated under any
circumstance.  KVM will use the flag for its upcoming GUEST_MEMFD support,
which will not support compaction/migration, at least not in the
foreseeable future.

Test AS_UNMOVABLE under folio lock as already done for the async
compaction/dirty folio case, as the mapping can be removed by truncation
while compaction is running.  To avoid having to lock every folio with a
mapping, assume/require that unmovable mappings are also unevictable, and
have mapping_set_unmovable() also set AS_UNEVICTABLE.
