[PATCH v3 1/6] mm/migrate_device: Clear stale mapping after freeing swapcache

__migrate_device_pages() reads the folio mapping before calling
folio_free_swap(). When folio_free_swap() succeeds, the folio is removed
from the swap cache, but the saved mapping still points to swap_space.

Passing the stale mapping to folio_migrate_mapping() makes it use the
mapped-folio path for a folio that is no longer in swapcache. It can
then operate on swap_space.i_pages with invalid reference accounting,
eventually triggering a folio reference count BUG.

After a successful split, nr still contains the number of pages in the
original large folio, although each resulting page is now a separate
order-0 folio. Reset nr to 1 so each split folio is processed separately,
including its own swapcache removal and mapping lookup.

Refresh the saved mapping after folio_free_swap() so the current folio
state is used during migration.

v2:
- Refresh the mapping using folio_mapping(), as suggested by Zi Yan.

v3:
- Reset nr to 1 after a successful split so each resulting folio is
  processed independently, as suggested by Zi Yan.

v4:
- Re-read each source folio's mapping immediately before
  folio_migrate_mapping(), as suggested by Balbir Singh.
- Add a warning to validate the post-split order-0 invariant,
  as suggested by Balbir Singh.
