mm: thp: move pmd check inside ptl for freeze_page()
I found a race condition triggering VM_BUG_ON() in freeze_page(), when
running a testcase with 3 processes:
- process 1: keep writing thp,
- process 2: keep clearing soft-dirty bits from virtual address of process 1
- process 3: call migratepages for process 1,
The kernel message is like this:

RIP split_huge_page_to_list+0x496/0x590
I'm not sure of the full scenario of the reproduction, but my debug
showed that split_huge_pmd_address(freeze=true) returned without running
main code of pmd splitting because pmd_present(*pmd) in precheck somehow
returned 0. If this happens, the subsequent try_to_unmap() fails and
returns non-zero (because page_mapcount() still > 0), and finally
VM_BUG_ON() fires. This patch tries to fix it by prechecking pmd state
inside ptl.
