mm/migrate: split source folio if it is on deferred split list
If the source folio is on deferred split list, it is likely some subpages
are not used. Split it before migration to avoid migrating unused
subpages.
Commit 616b8371539a6 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path") did
not check if a THP is on deferred split list before migration, thus, the
destination THP is never put on deferred split list even if the source THP
might be. The opportunity of reclaiming free pages in a partially mapped
THP during deferred list scanning is lost, but no other harmful
consequence is present[1].
