Adjust code which inadvertently perform redundant checks on hugetlb VMAs and clean them up: * hugetlb VMAs have VMA_DONTEXPAND_BIT set so a VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS check suffices. (migrate_vma_setup() regains an explicit hugetlb test later in the series, once VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS is removed.) * hugetlb VMAs unconditionally set vma->vm_ops, so they are never anonymous. * hugetlb VMAs do not set VMA_PFNMAP_BIT so checking for this is redundant. While we're here also drop a VM_BUG_ON() which the simplified check above makes unreachable, and use the new VMA flag API. No functional change intended.
