Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm/thp: remap_page() is only needed on anonymous THP

THP splitting's unmap_page() only sets TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE when PageAnon,
and migration entries are only inserted when TTU_MIGRATION (unused here)
or TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE is set: so it's just a waste of time for remap_page()
to search for migration entries to remove when !PageAnon.

Fixes: baa355fd3314 ("thp: file pages support for split_huge_page()")
