Subject: mm/hugetlb: add migration/hwpoisoned entry check in
 hugetlb_change_protection

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>

commit a8bda28d87c38c6aa93de28ba5d30cc18e865a11 upstream.

There is a race condition between hugepage migration and
change_protection(), where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about
migration entries and wrongly overwrites them.  That causes unexpected
results like kernel crash.  HWPoison entries also can cause the same
problem.

This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this
function to do proper actions.
