From: Alexandru Moise <00moses.alexander00@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, hugetlb, soft_offline: save compound page order before page migration

This fixes a bug in madvise() where if you'd try to soft offline a
hugepage via madvise(), while walking the address range you'd end up,
using the wrong page offset due to attempting to get the compound order of
a former but presently not compound page, due to dissolving the huge page
(since c3114a8).

As a result I ended up with all my free pages except one being
offlined.
