Subject: [RFC 2/2] arm64/mm: Enable THP migration without split

In certain page migration situations a THP page can be migrated without
being split into it's constituent normal pages. This not only saves time
required to split the THP page later to be put back when required but also
saves an wider address range translation from the existing huge TLB entry
reducing future page fault costs.

The previous patch changed the THP helper functions which now complies with
the generic MM semantics clearing the path for THP migration support. Hence
just enable it.
