Subject: [PATCH v1] mm: migration: fix the FOLL_GET failure on following huge page

Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so the __NR_move_pages
will fail to get the page node information for huge page.

This is an temporary solution to mitigate the racing fix.

After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be
reverted safely.

Fixes: 4cd614841c06 ("mm: migration: fix possible do_pages_stat_array racing with memory offline")
