mm/thp: refix __split_huge_pmd_locked() for migration PMD

Migration entries do not contribute to a page's reference count: move
__split_huge_pmd_locked()'s page_ref_add() into pmd_migration's else
block (along with the page_count() check - a page is quite likely to
have reference count frozen to 0 when a migration entry is found).

This will fix a very rare anonymous memory leak, after a
split_huge_pmd() raced with an anon split_huge_page() or an anon THP
migrate_pages(): since the wrongly raised refcount stopped the page
(perhaps small, perhaps huge, depending on when the race hit) from ever
being freed.

At first I thought there were worse risks, from prematurely unfreezing a
frozen page: but now think that would only affect page cache pages,
which do not come this way (except for anonymous pages in swap cache,
perhaps).
