Subject: mm/migrate_device: add THP splitting during migration
Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 10:04:43 +1000

Implement migrate_vma_split_pages() to handle THP splitting during the
migration process when destination cannot allocate compound pages.

This addresses the common scenario where migrate_vma_setup() succeeds with
MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND pages, but the destination device cannot allocate
large pages during the migration phase.

Key changes:
- migrate_vma_split_pages(): Split already-isolated pages during migration
- Enhanced folio_split() and __split_unmapped_folio() with isolated
  parameter to avoid redundant unmap/remap operations

This provides a fallback mechansim to ensure migration succeeds even when
large page allocation fails at the destination.
