When BUG_ON check for THP migration entry, the existing code only check thp_migration_supported case, but not for !thp_migration_supported case. If !thp_migration_supported() and !pmd_present(), the original code may dead loop in theory. To make the BUG_ON check consistent, we need catch both cases. Move the BUG_ON check one step earlier, because if the bug happen we should know it instead of depend on FOLL_MIGRATION been used by caller. Because pmdval instead of *pmd is read by the is_pmd_migration_entry() check, the existing code don't help to avoid useless locking within pmd_migration_entry_wait(), so remove that check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
