The goal is to reuse the parameter of has_unmovable_pages((…, page, …)
as a return value, so after it returns, dump_page(page, ...) could use it. I
don’t see where it was defined as a local variable.

This is probably a bit too hacky, so I’ll change has_unmovable_pages()
to either return "struct page *” or NULL which is easier to understand.
