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].
