mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling
When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported yet. So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling. Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using the generic migration code. This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration implementation to migrate misplaced page. There is no functional change. After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its PTE counterpart: Acquire ptl Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount) Release ptl Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount Migrate the misplaced THP If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD. In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race. The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP split. Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault and remove all the dead and duplicate code.
