mm: migrate: remove PageTransHuge check in numamigrate_isolate_page()
[ Upstream commit a8ac4a767dcd9d87d8229045904d9fe15ea5e0e8 ]
Patch series "mm: migrate: more folio conversion and unification", v3.
Convert more migrate functions to use a folio, it is also a preparation
for large folio migration support when balancing numa.
This patch (of 8):
The assert VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(order && !PageTransHuge(page), page) is not very
useful,
1) for a tail/base page, order = 0, for a head page, the order > 0 &&
PageTransHuge() is true
2) there is a PageCompound() check and only base page is handled in
do_numa_page(), and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() only handle PMD-mapped
THP
3) even though the page is a tail page, isolate_lru_page() will post
a warning, and fail to isolate the page
4) if large folio/pte-mapped THP migration supported in the future,
we could migrate the entire folio if numa fault on a tail page
so just remove the check.
