Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] mm: soft-offline: Change soft_offline_page() interface to tell if the page is split or not.

From: Zi Yan <zi.yan@...rutgers.edu>

This prepares for THP migration support. During soft-offlining,
if a THP is migrated without splitting, we need to soft-offline pages
after the THP. Otherwise, we need to soft-offline the next subpage in
that THP.

The new added output parameter in soft_offline_page() help distinguish
the two conditions above. As THPs are split after they are free,
we cannot distinguish the two conditions by examining the soft-offlined
pages.
