mm: migrate: remove PageHead() check for HugeTLB in add_page_for_migration()

Browse source

There is some different between hugeTLB and THP behave when passed the
address of a tail page, for THP, it will migrate the entire THP page, but
for HugeTLB, it will return -EACCES, or -ENOENT before commit e66f17ff71
("mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()"),

  -EACCES The page is mapped by multiple processes and can be moved
	  only if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
  -ENOENT The page is not present.

But when check manual[1], both of the two errnos are not suitable, it is
better to keep the same behave between hugetlb and THP when passed the
address of a tail page, so let's just remove the PageHead() check for
HugeTLB.
