Subject[PATCH] mm: thp: fix soft dirty for migration when split
Date
When splitting a huge migrating PMD, we'll transfer the soft dirty bit
from the huge page to the small pages. However we're possibly using a
wrong data since when fetching the bit we're using pmd_soft_dirty()
upon a migration entry. Fix it up.

I noticed this during code reading. Only compile tested. I'm sending
a patch directly for review comments since it's relatively
straightforward and not easy to test. Please have a look, thanks.
