It is assumed that only one thread is attempting such an operation, and due to the limited number of callers this is generally the case. However, there are no guarantees and it is 'possible' for two threads to operate on the same range. Since start_isolate_page_range() is called at the beginning of such operations, have it return -EBUSY if MIGRATE_ISOLATE is already set. This will allow start_isolate_page_range to serve as a synchronization mechanism and will allow for more general use of callers making use of these interfaces.
