From high level:
- KVM unset MEMFILE_F_UNMOVABLE bit to indicate it capable of
migrating a page.
- Introduce new 'migrate' callback(s) to memfile_notifier_ops for KVM
to register.
- The callback is hooked to migrate_page() here.
- Once page migration requested, shmem calls into the 'migrate'
callback(s) to perform additional steps for encrypted memory (For
TDX we will call TDH.MEM.PAGE.RELOCATE).
