It's a pity we have to pass unmap all the way down to
migration_entry_wait_on_locked().

However we might not have to - afaict this is the only usage of ptep so callers
could do the pte_unmap() prior to calling migration_entry_wait_on_locked(). We
could then remove both the `ptep` and `unmap` parameters. Ie:

migration_entry_wait_on_locked(swp_entry_t entry, spinlock_t *ptl)

This does assume it's ok to change the order of pte unmap/ptl unlock operations.
I'm not terribly familiar with CONFIG_HIGHPTE systems, but it seems like that
should be ok.
