Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] mm: fix missing cache flush for all tail pages of compound page

The D-cache maintenance inside move_to_new_page() only consider one page,
there is still D-cache maintenance issue for tail pages of compound page
(e.g. THP or HugeTLB).  THP migration is only enabled on x86_64, ARM64
and powerpc, while powerpc and arm64 need to maintain the consistency
between I-Cache and D-Cache, which depends on flush_dcache_page() to
maintain the consistency between I-Cache and D-Cache.  In theory, the
issue can be found on arm64 and powerpc.  HugeTLB migration is enabled
on arm, arm64, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390 and sh, while arm
has handled the compound page cache flush in flush_dcache_page(), but
most others do not.  In theory, the issue exists on many architectures.
Fix this by not using flush_dcache_folio() since it is not backportable.

Fixes: 616b8371539a ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path")
Fixes: 290408d4a250 ("hugetlb: hugepage migration core")
