The softleaf_is_migration() check is unreachable as entries that are not
device_private are filtered out. Similarly, the PTE-level equivalent in
migrate_vma_collect_pmd() skips migration entries.
This dead branch also contained a double spin_unlock(ptl) bug.

Heh. You beat me by 10 minutes :-) I was just checking to see if the fix had

You probably want to add:
Fixes: a30b48bf1b244 ("mm/migrate_device: implement THP migration of zone device pages")
But other than that this looks good so:
