mm: Prevent parallel splits during THP migration
THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.
