mm: migrate: fix an incorrect call of prep_transhuge_page()
commit 40a899ed16486455f964e46d1af31fd4fded21c1 upstream. In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/20/411, Andrea reported that during memory hotplug/hot remove prep_transhuge_page() is called incorrectly on non-THP pages for migration, when THP is on but THP migration is not enabled. This leads to a bad state of target pages for migration. By inspecting the code, if called on a non-THP, prep_transhuge_page() will 1) change the value of the mapping of (page + 2), since it is used for THP deferred list; 2) change the lru value of (page + 1), since it is used for THP's dtor. Both can lead to data corruption of these two pages. Andrea said: "Pragmatically and from the point of view of the memory_hotplug subsys, the effect is a kernel crash when pages are being migrated during a memory hot remove offline and migration target pages are found in a bad state" This patch fixes it by only calling prep_transhuge_page() when we are certain that the target page is THP.
