Subject: drivers/scsi/sg.c: mark VMA as VM_IO to prevent migration

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <[email protected]>

commit 461c7fa126794157484dca48e88effa4963e3af3 upstream.

Reduced testcase:

    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>
    #include <numaif.h>

    #define SIZE 0x2000

    int main()
    {
        int fd;
        void *p;

        fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
        p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
        mbind(p, SIZE, 0, NULL, 0, MPOL_MF_MOVE);
        return 0;
    }

We shouldn't try to migrate pages in sg VMA as we don't have a way to update Sg_scatter_hold::pages accordingly from mm core.

Let's mark the VMA as VM_IO to indicate to mm core that the VMA is not migratable.
