Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: fix missing cache flush for all tail pages of THP

The D-cache maintenance inside move_to_new_page() only consider one page,
there is still D-cache maintenance issue for tail pages of THP. Fix this
by using flush_dcache_folio().

Fixes: 616b8371539a ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path")
