Subject: [v3 PATCH 3/5] mm: migrate: skip shared exec THP for NUMA balancing

The NUMA balancing skip shared exec base page.  Since
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was introduced, there are probably shared
exec THP, so skip such THPs for NUMA balancing as well.

And Willy's regular filesystem THP support patches could create shared
exec THP wven without that config.

In addition, the page_is_file_lru() is used to tell if the page is file
cache or not, but it filters out shmem page.  It sounds like a typical
usecase by putting executables in shmem to achieve performance gain via
using shmem-THP, so it sounds worth skipping migration for such case too.
