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);

I think this could trigger in some corner when other pages (esp. 
folios?) reuse the flag and we run into some weird races while we don't 
hold any reference on the page.
