[patch 6/7] mm/huge_memory.c: deposit page table when copying a PMD migration entry

Subject: mm/huge_memory.c: deposit page table when copying a PMD migration entry

We need to deposit pre-allocated PTE page table when a PMD migration entry
is copied in copy_huge_pmd().  Otherwise, we will leak the pre-allocated
page and cause a NULL pointer dereference later in zap_huge_pmd().

The missing counters during PMD migration entry copy process are added as
well.

The bug report is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/29/214
