mm: fix deferred split queue races during migration
migrate_folio_move() records the deferred split queue state from src and
replays it on dst. Replaying it after remove_migration_ptes(src, dst, 0)
makes dst visible before it is requeued, so a concurrent rmap-removal path
can mark dst partially mapped and trip the WARN in deferred_split_folio().
Move the requeue before remove_migration_ptes() so dst is back on the
deferred split queue before it becomes visible again.
Because migration still holds dst locked at that point, teach
deferred_split_scan() to requeue a folio when folio_trylock() fails.
Otherwise a fully mapped underused folio can be dequeued by the shrinker
and silently lost from split_queue.
