[PATCH v3 4/4] arm64: mm: Make arch_faults_on_old_pte() check for migratability

arch_faults_on_old_pte() relies on the calling context being
non-preemptible. CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT turns the PTE lock into a sleepable
spinlock, which doesn't disable preemption once acquired, triggering the
warning in arch_faults_on_old_pte().

It does however disable migration, ensuring the task remains on the same
CPU during the entirety of the critical section, making the read of
cpu_has_hw_af() safe and stable.

Make arch_faults_on_old_pte() check migratable() instead of preemptible().
