We can not really handle non-LRU movable pages in memory failure.
Typically they are balloon, zsmalloc, etc.

Assuming we run into a base (4K) non-LRU movable page, we could reach as
far as identify_page_state(), it should not fall into any category
except me_unknown.

For the non-LRU compound movable pages, they could be taken for
transhuge pages but it's unexpected to split non-LRU movable pages using
split_huge_page_to_list in memory_failure.  So we could just simply make
non-LRU movable pages unhandlable to avoid these possible nasty cases.
