Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] mm/hugetlb: add migration/hwpoisoned entry check in hugetlb_change_protection

There is a race condition between hugepage migration and change_protection(),
where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about migration entries and
wrongly overwrites them. That causes unexpected results like kernel crash.
HWPoison entries also can cause the same problem.

This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this
function to do proper actions.

ChangeLog v4:
- s/set_pte_at/set_huge_pte_at/

ChangeLog v3:
- handle migration entry correctly (instead of just skipping)
