Subject: [PATCH 3.11 152/208] mm: numa: avoid unnecessary disruption of NUMA hinting during migration

3.11.10.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit de466bd628e8d663fdf3f791bc8db318ee85c714 upstream.

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.
