Subject: [PATCH mmotm] mm/vmstat: Add events for PMD based THP migration
 without split fix

Fix 5.7-rc6-mm1 page migration crash in unmap_and_move(): when the
page to be migrated has been freed from under us, that is considered 
a MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS, but no newpage has been allocated (and I don't
think it would ever need to be counted as a successful THP migration).
