There is some different between hugeTLB and THP behave when passed the
address of a tail page, for THP, it will migrate the entire THP page,
but for HugeTLB, it will return -EACCES, or -ENOENT before commit
e66f17ff7177 ("mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()"),

  -EACCES The page is mapped by multiple processes and can be moved
	  only if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
  -ENOENT The page is not present.

But when check manual[1], both of the two errnos are not suitable, it
is better to keep the same behave between hugetlb and THP when passed
the address of a tail page, so let's just remove the PageHead() check
for HugeTLB.
