Subject: [PATCH 4/9] migrate: add hugepage migration code to move_pages()

This patch extends move_pages() to handle vma with VM_HUGETLB set.
We will be able to migrate hugepage with move_pages(2) after
applying the enablement patch which comes later in this series.

We avoid getting refcount on tail pages of hugepage, because unlike thp,
hugepage is not split and we need not care about races with splitting.

And migration of larger (1GB for x86_64) hugepage are not enabled.

ChangeLog v4:
 - use get_page instead of get_page_foll
 - add comment in follow_page_mask

ChangeLog v3:
 - revert introducing migrate_movable_pages
 - follow_page_mask(FOLL_GET) returns NULL for tail pages
 - use isolate_huge_page

ChangeLog v2:
 - updated description and renamed patch title
