[PATCH] Page migration: Fix vma flag checking

Browse Source 
Currently we do not check for vma flags if sys_move_pages is called to move
individual pages.  If sys_migrate_pages is called to move pages then we
check for vm_flags that indicate a non migratable vma but that still
includes VM_LOCKED and we can migrate mlocked pages.

Extract the vma_migratable check from mm/mempolicy.c, fix it and put it
into migrate.h so that is can be used from both locations.

Problem was spotted by Lee Schermerhorn
