mm/migrate_device: Clear stale mapping after freeing swapcache

This commit fixes a bug in __migrate_device_pages() where a stale mapping
is used after a folio is removed from the swap cache. It refreshes the
mapping via folio_mapping() and resets 'nr' to 1 after a successful folio
split to process the resulting order-0 folios independently.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this error path in
__migrate_device_pages() miss a goto next statement?

When a non-compound source page is paired with a compound destination page,
the code correctly clears the MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE flag to abort the
migration, but it falls through instead of skipping to the next iteration.

Without a goto next, execution continues to the unconditional page cache
migration loop at the bottom of the function. This calls
folio_migrate_mapping(), which moves the page cache state to the new folio.

Later, because MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE was cleared, migrate_vma_finalize() will
restore the CPU page tables to map the old source page. Will this cause data
corruption by desynchronizing the CPU page tables from the page cache?
