Maybe just replace mmu_notifier_range_init_migrate with a
mmu_notifier_range_init_owner helper that takes the owner but does
not hard code a type?

Just cosmetic, but I wonder if should factor this code block into
a little helper.

This cast should not be needed.

This can be simplified to:
return ttp.valid && !page_mapcount(page);

Should the trylock_page go into try_to_protect to simplify the loop
a little? Also I wonder if we need make_device_exclusive_range or
should just open code the get_user_pages_remote + try_to_protect
loop in the callers, as that might allow them to also deduct other
information about the found pages.
Otherwise looks good:
