[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Inconsistent placement of the `folio_is_private_node()` check causes incorrect `sz_filter_passed` accounting and unnecessary filter side-effects in `damon_pa_migrate()` compared to `damon_pa_pageout()`.

mm/damon: skip private node memory in DAMON migration and pageout

This commit updates DAMON's physical address operations to skip private-node
folios during both migration and pageout reclaim paths.

[Severity: Medium]
Does placing this check after the filter evaluation cause incorrect DAMON
statistics?

Because the check happens here rather than before the filter evaluation, it
appears unmigratable private node folios will be erroneously counted in
sz_filter_passed. This might also trigger unnecessary filter logic evaluations
before we ultimately skip the folio.

Could we move this up before damos_pa_filter_out() in damon_pa_migrate() so
it matches the logic flow used earlier in damon_pa_pageout()?
