Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] mm: migrate: more folio conversion and unification

Convert more migrate functions to use a folio, it is also a preparation
for large folio migration support when numa balance.

The patch 1~2	remove unexpected specific assert for PageTransHuge page.

The Patch 3~6	convert several more migration functions to use folio. 
		1) add_page_for_migration() used by move_pages
		2) migrate_misplaced_page()/numamigrate_isolate_page()
		   used by numa balance

The patch 7	remove PageHead() check to make hugetlb to migrate the
		entire hugetlb page instead of -EACCES errno return when
		passed the address of a tail page.

The patch 8	cleanup to unify and simplify code a bit in
		add_page_for_migration()

Thanks for all comments and suggestions from Matthew, Hugh, Zi, Mike, Huang.

v3:
- update changelog of patch1
- use folio_estimated_sharers and comment it in migrate_misplaced_folio()
- collect RB/ACK
- rebased on 6.6-rc1

v2:
- keep page_mapcount() check and remove specific assert for
  PageTransHuge page.
- separate patch7 to migrate the entire hugetlb page if a tail page passed,
  which unified the behavior between HUGETLB and THP when move_page().
