[PATCH v4 1/2] mm: migration: fix the FOLL_GET failure on following huge page

From: Haiyue Wang
Date: Sun Aug 14 2022 - 21:59:08 EST


Not all huge page APIs support FOLL_GET option, so the __NR_move_pages
will fail to get the page node information for huge page.

This is an temporary solution to mitigate the racing fix.

After supporting follow huge page by FOLL_GET is done, this fix can be
reverted safely.
