When running autonuma with enabling multi-size THP, I encountered the following
kernel crash issue:
[ 134.290216] list_del corruption. prev->next should be fffff9ad42e1c490,
but was dead000000000100. (prev=fffff9ad42399890)

The reason for the crash is that, the commit 85ce2c517ade ("memcontrol: only
transfer the memcg data for migration") removed the charging and uncharging
operations of the migration folios and cleared the memcg data of the old folio.
During the subsequent release process of the old large folio in destroy_large_folio(),
if the large folio needs to be removed from the split queue, an incorrect split
queue can be obtained (which is pgdat->deferred_split_queue) because the old
folio's memcg is NULL now. This can lead to list operations being performed
under the wrong split queue lock protection, resulting in a list crash as above.
After the migration, the old folio is going to be freed, so we can remove it
from the split queue in mem_cgroup_migrate() a bit earlier before clearing the
memcg data to avoid getting incorrect split queue.
Fixes: 85ce2c517ade ("memcontrol: only transfer the memcg data for migration")
