mm: thp: give transparent hugepage code a separate copy_page

Browse Source 
Right now, the migration code in migrate_page_copy() uses copy_huge_page()
for hugetlbfs and thp pages:

       if (PageHuge(page) || PageTransHuge(page))
                copy_huge_page(newpage, page);

So, yay for code reuse.  But:

  void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
  {
        struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);

and a non-hugetlbfs page has no page_hstate().  This works 99% of the
time because page_hstate() determines the hstate from the page order
alone.  Since the page order of a THP page matches the default hugetlbfs
page order, it works.

But, if you change the default huge page size on the boot command-line
(say default_hugepagesz=1G), then we might not even *have* a 2MB hstate
so page_hstate() returns null and copy_huge_page() oopses pretty fast
since copy_huge_page() dereferences the hstate:

  void copy_huge_page(struct page *dst, struct page *src)
  {
        struct hstate *h = page_hstate(src);
        if (unlikely(pages_per_huge_page(h) > MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES)) {
  ...

Mel noticed that the migration code is really the only user of these
functions.  This moves all the copy code over to migrate.c and makes
copy_huge_page() work for THP by checking for it explicitly.

I believe the bug was introduced in commit b32967ff10 ("mm: numa: Add
THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case")
