mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling

When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported
yet.  So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling.
Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much
sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using
the generic migration code.

This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration
implementation to migrate misplaced page.  There is no functional change.

After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its
PTE counterpart:
  Acquire ptl
  Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount)
  Release ptl
  Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount
  Migrate the misplaced THP

If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD.

In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration
against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it
seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race.

The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP
split.

Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault
and remove all the dead and duplicate code.
