mm: document zone device struct page field usage
Patch series "mm/hmm: fixes for device private page migration", v3. Testing the latest linux git tree turned up a few bugs with page migration to and from ZONE_DEVICE private and anonymous pages. Hopefully it clarifies how ZONE_DEVICE private struct page uses the same mapping and index fields from the source anonymous page mapping. This patch (of 3): Struct page for ZONE_DEVICE private pages uses the page->mapping and and page->index fields while the source anonymous pages are migrated to device private memory. This is so rmap_walk() can find the page when migrating the ZONE_DEVICE private page back to system memory. ZONE_DEVICE pmem backed fsdax pages also use the page->mapping and page->index fields when files are mapped into a process address space. Add comments to struct page and remove the unused "_zd_pad_1" field to make this more clear.
