Peter Xu 6e49019db5 mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails
This issue is not from any report yet, but by code observation only.

This is yet another fix besides Hugh's patch [1] but on relevant code
path, where eager split of folio can happen if the folio is already on
deferred list during a folio migration.

Here the issue is NUMA path (migrate_misplaced_folio()) may start to
encounter such folio split now even with MR_NUMA_MISPLACED hint applied. 
Then when migrate_pages() didn't migrate all the folios, it's possible the
split small folios be put onto the list instead of the original folio. 
Then putting back only the head page won't be enough.

Fix it by putting back all the folios on the list.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
