Migration is currently implemented as a mode of operation for
try_to_unmap_one() generally specified by passing the TTU_MIGRATION flag
or in the case of splitting a huge anonymous page TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE.

However it does not have much in common with the rest of the unmap
functionality of try_to_unmap_one() and thus splitting it into a
separate function reduces the complexity of try_to_unmap_one() making it
more readable.

Several simplifications can also be made in try_to_migrate_one() based
on the following observations:

 - All users of TTU_MIGRATION also set TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK.
 - No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_IGNORE_HWPOISON.
 - No users of TTU_MIGRATION ever set TTU_BATCH_FLUSH.

TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE is a special case of migration used when splitting an
anonymous page. This is most easily dealt with by calling the correct
function from unmap_page() in mm/huge_memory.c  - either
try_to_migrate() for PageAnon or try_to_unmap().

It implies freeze in try_to_migrate() and no freeze in try_to_unmap(). I think
we need some comments here, above try_to_migrate(), and above try_to_unmap()
to clarify the implication.

I think we need a comment here about why anonymous pages need try_to_migrate()
and others need try_to_unmap().

Thanks.
