Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] mm: migrate: do not migrate HugeTLB page whose refcount is one

If the refcount is one when it is migrated, it means that the page
was freed from under us. So we are done and do not need to migrate.

This optimization is consistent with the regular pages, just like
unmap_and_move() does.
