mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path



Add thp migration's core code, including conversions between a PMD entry
and a swap entry, setting PMD migration entry, removing PMD migration
entry, and waiting on PMD migration entries.

This patch makes it possible to support thp migration.  If you fail to
allocate a destination page as a thp, you just split the source thp as
we do now, and then enter the normal page migration.  If you succeed to
allocate destination thp, you enter thp migration.  Subsequent patches
actually enable thp migration for each caller of page migration by
allowing its get_new_page() callback to allocate thps.
