mm: fix is_pinnable_page against a cma page
Pages in the CMA area could have MIGRATE_ISOLATE as well as MIGRATE_CMA so
the current is_pinnable_page() could miss CMA pages which have
MIGRATE_ISOLATE. It ends up pinning CMA pages as longterm for the
pin_user_pages() API so CMA allocations keep failing until the pin is
released.

So, pinned the page successfully.
page migration failure with pinned page
..
.. After 30 sec
unpin_user_page(page)
CMA allocation succeeded after 30 sec.
The CMA allocation path protects the migration type change race using
zone->lock but what GUP path need to know is just whether the page is on
CMA area or not rather than exact migration type. Thus, we don't need
zone->lock but just checks migration type in either of (MIGRATE_ISOLATE
and MIGRATE_CMA).
Adding the MIGRATE_ISOLATE check in is_pinnable_page could cause rejecting
of pinning pages on MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblocks even though it's neither
CMA nor movable zone if the page is temporarily unmovable. However, such
a migration failure by unexpected temporal refcount holding is general
issue, not only come from MIGRATE_ISOLATE and the MIGRATE_ISOLATE is also
transient state like other temporal elevated refcount problem.
