mm/thp: fix __split_huge_pmd_locked() on shmem migration entry

Patch series "mm/thp: fix THP splitting unmap BUGs and related", v10.

Here is v2 batch of long-standing THP bug fixes that I had not got
around to sending before, but prompted now by Wang Yugui's report
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210412180659.B9E3.409509F4@e16-tech.com/

Wang Yugui has tested a rollup of these fixes applied to 5.10.39, and
they have done no harm, but have *not* fixed that issue: something more
is needed and I have no idea of what.

This patch (of 7):

Stressing huge tmpfs page migration racing hole punch often crashed on
the VM_BUG_ON(!pmd_present) in pmdp_huge_clear_flush(), with DEBUG_VM=y
kernel; or shortly afterwards, on a bad dereference in
__split_huge_pmd_locked() when DEBUG_VM=n.  They forgot to allow for pmd
migration entries in the non-anonymous case.

Full disclosure: those particular experiments were on a kernel with more
relaxed mmap_lock and i_mmap_rwsem locking, and were not repeated on the
vanilla kernel: it is conceivable that stricter locking happens to avoid
those cases, or makes them less likely; but __split_huge_pmd_locked()
already allowed for pmd migration entries when handling anonymous THPs,
so this commit brings the shmem and file THP handling into line.

And while there: use old_pmd rather than _pmd, as in the following
blocks; and make it clearer to the eye that the !vma_is_anonymous()
block is self-contained, making an early return after accounting for
unmapping.
