[PATCH 6/6] mm: numa: Cleanup flow of transhuge page migration

[Mel Gorman]

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

When correcting commit 04fa5d6a (mm: migrate: check page_count of
THP before migrating) Hugh Dickins noted that the control flow for
transhuge migration was difficult to follow. Unconditionally calling
put_page() in numamigrate_isolate_page() made the failure paths of both
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() and migrate_misplaced_page() more complex
that they should be. Further, he was extremely wary that an unlock_page()
should ever happen after a put_page() even if the put_page() should never
be the final put_page.

Hugh implemented the following cleanup to simplify the path by
calling putback_lru_page() inside numamigrate_isolate_page()
if it failed to isolate and always calling unlock_page() within
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(). There is no functional change after
this patch is applied but the code is easier to follow and unlock_page()
always happens before put_page().
