mm: numa: take THP into account when migrating pages for NUMA balancing
Wanpeng Li pointed out that numamigrate_isolate_page() assumes that only one base page is being migrated when in fact it can also be checking THP. The consequences are that a migration will be attempted when a target node is nearly full and fail later. It's unlikely to be user-visible but it should be fixed. While we are there, migrate_balanced_pgdat() should treat nr_migrate_pages as an unsigned long as it is treated as a watermark.
