mm: Clear page->private when splitting or migrating a page
In our efforts to remove uses of PG_private, we have found folios with
the private flag clear and folio->private not-NULL. That is the root
cause behind 642d51f ("ceph: check folio PG_private bit instead
of folio->private"). It can also affect a few other filesystems that
haven't yet reported a problem.
compaction_alloc() can return a page with uninitialised page->private,
and rather than checking all the callers of migrate_pages(), just zero
page->private after calling get_new_page(). Similarly, the tail pages
from split_huge_page() may also have an uninitialised page->private.
