[PATCH v4] migrate: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()

[Naoya Horiguchi]

Here is the revised one. Andrew, could you replace the following
patches in your tree with this?

  migrate-add-migrate_entry_wait_huge.patch
  hugetlbfs-support-split-page-table-lock.patch

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH v4] migrate: add migrate_entry_wait_huge()

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes.
As a result, users who try to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining,
for example) occasionally experience long delay or soft lockup.

This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage.
This patch introduces migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

ChangeLog v4:
 - replace huge_pte_lockptr with &(mm)->page_table_lock
   (postponed split page table lock patch)
 - update description

ChangeLog v3:
 - use huge_pte_lockptr

ChangeLog v2:
 - remove dup in migrate_entry_wait_huge()
