Firstly, I would have thought that we have no opportunities to batch the
TLB flushing now. But as you pointed out, it is still possible to batch
if mapcount > 1. Secondly, without TTU_BATCH_FLUSH, we may flush the
TLB for a single page (with invlpg instruction), otherwise, we will
flush the TLB for all pages. The former is faster and will not
influence other TLB entries of the process.
Or we use TTU_BATCH_FLUSH only if mapcount > 1?

Yes. Now, there's HPAGE_PMD_NR folios in "from" list.
And, in the later patch, I just move the logic out of this function.
The split_folios is return to the caller, and the caller will call
migrate_pages_batch() again to migrate "split_folios" with MIGRATE_ASYNC
mode.
