When splitting a huge migrating PMD, we'll transfer all the existing
PMD bits and apply them again onto the small PTEs. However we are
fetching the bits unconditionally via pmd_soft_dirty(), pmd_write()
or pmd_yound() while actually they don't make sense at all when it's
a migration entry. Fix them up. Since at it, drop the ifdef together
as not needed.
Note that if my understanding is correct about the problem then if
without the patch there is chance to lose some of the dirty bits in
the migrating pmd pages (on x86_64 we're fetching bit 11 which is part
of swap offset instead of bit 2) and it could potentially corrupt the
memory of an userspace program which depends on the dirty bit.

v2:
- fix it up for young/write/dirty bits too [Konstantin]
v3:
- fetch write correctly for migration entry; drop macro [Konstantin]
