Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Cleanup and fixup for mm/migrate.c

Hi all,
This series contains cleanups to remove unnecessary VM_BUG_ON_PAGE and
rc != MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS check. Also use helper function to remove some
duplicated codes. What's more, this fixes potential deadlock in NUMA
balancing shared exec THP case and so on. More details can be found in
the respective changelogs. Thanks!
