When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the existing code only check
thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case.
If !thp_migration_supported() and !pmd_present(), the original code may
dead loop in theory.  To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch
both cases.

Move the BUG_ON check one step earlier, because if the bug happen we
should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller.

Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry()
check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within
pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.
