Subject: [PATCH 13/15] mm: numa: Avoid unnecessary disruption of NUMA hinting during migration

do_huge_pmd_numa_page() handles the case where there is parallel THP
migration.  However, by the time it is checked the NUMA hinting information
has already been disrupted. This patch adds an earlier check with some helpers.
It reuses the helper to warn if a huge pmd copy takes place in parallel with
THP migration as that potentially leads to corruption.
