mm: fix check_move_unevictable_pages() on THP

check_move_unevictable_pages() is used in making unevictable shmem pages
evictable: by shmem_unlock_mapping(), drm_gem_check_release_pagevec() and
i915/gem check_release_pagevec().  Those may pass down subpages of a huge
page, when /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is "force".

That does not crash or warn at present, but the accounting of vmstats
unevictable_pgs_scanned and unevictable_pgs_rescued is inconsistent:
scanned being incremented on each subpage, rescued only on the head (since
tails already appear evictable once the head has been updated).

5.8 commit 5d91f31faf8e ("mm: swap: fix vmstats for huge page") has
established that vm_events in general (and unevictable_pgs_rescued in
particular) should count every subpage: so follow that precedent here.

Do this in such a way that if mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() is made stricter
(to check page->mem_cgroup is always set), no problem: skip the tails
before calling it, and add thp_nr_pages() to vmstats on the head.
