Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] migrate: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage.
This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

Note that the caller, hugetlb_fault(), gets the pointer to the "leaf"
entry with huge_pte_offset() inside which all the arch-dependency of
the page table structure are. So migration_entry_wait_huge() and
__migration_entry_wait() are free from arch-dependency.

ChangeLog v3:
 - use huge_pte_lockptr

ChangeLog v2:
 - remove dup in migrate_entry_wait_huge()
