[PATCH v2] mm/migrate: correct thp migration stats.

[PATCH v2] mm/migrate: correct thp migration stats.

[Zi Yan]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

PageTransHuge returns true for both thp and hugetlb, so thp stats was
counting both thp and hugetlb migrations. Exclude hugetlb migration by
setting is_thp variable right.

Clean up thp handling code too when we are there.

Fixes: 1a5bae25e3cf ("mm/vmstat: add events for THP migration without split")

Coincidentally, I had just detected this problem last evening and was
in the process of sending a patch this morning :) Nonetheless, thanks
for the patch.

Earlier there was a similar THP-HugeTLB ambiguity down the error path
as well. In hindsight, I should have noticed or remembered about this
earlier fix during the THP stats patch.

Moving the failure path inside the split path makes sense, now
that it is already established that the page is indeed a THP.
