[PATCH v1] mm: migrate: hugetlb: putback destination hugepage to active list

[Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>]

Since commit bcc54222309c ("mm: hugetlb: introduce page_huge_active")
each hugetlb page maintains its active flag to avoid a race condition between
multiple calls of isolate_huge_page(), but current kernel doesn't set the flag
on a hugepage allocated by migration because the proper putback routine isn't
called. This means that users could still encounter the race referred to by
bcc54222309c in this special case, so this patch fixes it.
