Instead, let's use a page flag. As the page flag can result in
false-positives, glue it to the page types for which we
support/implement movable_ops page migration.

Should we do the code below in case PageMovableOps is set on pages
other than PageOffline and PageZsmalloc?

return PageMovableOps(page) &&
	   !VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE(!(PageOffline(page) || PageZsmalloc(page)),
							 page);
