mm/migrate: preserve exact soft-dirty state
pte_mkdirty() sets both _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bits. The
_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY can get set even if it wasn't set on original page before
migration. This makes non-soft-dirty pages soft-dirty just because of
migration/compaction. Clear the _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY flag if it wasn't set on
original page.
By definition of soft-dirty feature, there can be spurious soft-dirty
pages because of kernel's internal activity such as VMA merging or
migration/compaction. This patch is eliminating the spurious soft-dirty
pages because of migration/compaction.
