Drivers should set writeback flag under page lock. But I'am not sure this is always obeyed.

iomap_migrate_page acts as a migratepage callback. The check is actually done in __unmap_and_move.

IIUC, this should also be broken too. If a page can be flagged writeback under page lock,
we can't simply do folio_end_writeback here as page might still be under the use of drivers.
More works should be done to handle the case correctly.

That's really a pity.
