When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the exsiting code only check
thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case.
To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch both cases.
Move the BUG_ON check one step eariler, because if the bug happen we
should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller.
Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry()
check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within
pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.

V1->V2:
Move the BUG_ON() check before if(!(flags & FOLL_MIGRATION)); and add comments
for it.
