damon_migrate_pages() try migration even if the target node is invalid.
If users mistakenly make such invalid requests via
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} action, below kernel BUG can happen.

Add a target node validity check in damon_migrate_pages(). The validity
check is stolen from that of do_pages_move(), which is being used for
move_pages() system call.

OK. damon_migrate_pages() exists only in mm.git thanks to 13dde31db71f
("mm/damon: move migration helpers from paddr to ops-common"). I
assume that you'll send the -stable people a patch which adds this check into
damon_pa_migrate_pages() when called upon to do so.

That's very correct, Andrew. I am planning to do so as soon as this is merged
into the mainline :)

LGTM, thank you SJ!
On a side note... This seems like it would be a common check. However, doing a
(quick) search seems to return no function that checks whether a node is valid.
Perhaps it would make sense to look deeper and see how many other functions
make this check, and export this as a function? I can try spinning something
if it makes sense to you : -)

My humble impression was that this check is short enough to be ok to be
open-coded, but please don't be blocked on my opinion :)
