[PATCH] mm, thp: fix migration of PTE-mapped transparent huge pages

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

We don't have native support of THP migration, so we have to split huge
page into small pages in order to migrate it to different node.
This includes PTE-mapped huge pages.

I made mistake in refcounting patchset: we don't actually split
PTE-mapped huge page in queue_pages_pte_range(), if we step on head
page.

The result is that the head page is queued for migration, but none of
tail pages: putting head page on queue takes pin on the page and any
subsequent attempts of split_huge_pages() would fail and we skip queuing
tail pages.

unmap_and_move_huge_page() will eventually split the huge pages, but
only one of 512 pages would get migrated.

Let's fix the situation.
