Subject: mm: migrate: simplify the refcount validation when migrating hugetlb mapping
There is no need to validate the hugetlb page's refcount before trying to
freeze the hugetlb page's expected refcount, instead we can just rely on
the page_ref_freeze() to simplify the validation.
Moreover we are always under the page lock when migrating the hugetlb page
mapping, which means nowhere else can remove it from the page cache, so we
can remove the xas_load() validation under the i_pages lock.
