[Resend PATCH 5/6] mm/thp: remove code path which never got into

From: Alex Shi
Date: Tue Aug 11 2020 - 07:11:18 EST


split_huge_page() will never call on a page which isn't on lru list, so
this code never got a chance to run, and should not be run, to add tail
pages on a lru list which head page isn't there.

Although the bug was never triggered, it'better be removed for code
correctness, and add a warn for unexpected calling.
