    mm: thp: fix flags for pmd migration when split
    
    When splitting a huge migrating PMD, we'll transfer all the existing PMD
    bits and apply them again onto the small PTEs.  However we are fetching
    the bits unconditionally via pmd_soft_dirty(), pmd_write() or
    pmd_yound() while actually they don't make sense at all when it's a
    migration entry.  Fix them up.  Since at it, drop the ifdef together as
    not needed.
    
    Note that if my understanding is correct about the problem then if
    without the patch there is chance to lose some of the dirty bits in the
    migrating pmd pages (on x86_64 we're fetching bit 11 which is part of
    swap offset instead of bit 2) and it could potentially corrupt the
    memory of an userspace program which depends on the dirty bit.
