Muchun Song 71a64f618b mm: migrate: do not migrate HugeTLB page whose refcount is one
All pages isolated for the migration have an elevated reference count and
therefore seeing a reference count equal to 1 means that the last user of
the page has dropped the reference and the page has became unused and
there doesn't make much sense to migrate it anymore.

This has been done for regular pages and this patch does the same for
hugetlb pages.  Although the likelihood of the race is rather small for
hugetlb pages it makes sense the two code paths in sync.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
