Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] mm/hugetlb: add migration entry check in __unmap_hugepage_range

If __unmap_hugepage_range() tries to unmap the address range over which
hugepage migration is on the way, we get the wrong page because pte_page()
doesn't work for migration entries. This patch simply clears the pte for
migration entries as we do for hwpoison entries.

ChangeLog v4:
- check hwpoisoned hugepage and migrating hugepage with the same check
  instead of doing separately
