Parallel developments in mm/rmap.c have left behind some out-of-date
comments: try_to_migrate_one() also accepts TTU_SYNC (already commented
in try_to_migrate() itself), and try_to_migrate() returns nothing at all.

TTU_SPLIT_FREEZE has just been deleted, so reword the comment about it in
mm/huge_memory.c; and TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS was removed in 5.11, so delete
the "recently referenced" comment from try_to_unmap_one() (once upon a
time the comment was near the removed codeblock, but they drifted apart).

I just realized this. Currently unmap_page() just unmaps file pages
when splitting THP. But it seems this may cause some trouble for page
cache speculative get for the below case IIUC. Am I missing something?

    CPU A                  CPU B
unmap_page()
...
freeze refcount
                              find_get_page() ->
                                  __page_cache_add_speculative() ->
                                      VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(page)
== 0, page); //When CONFIG_TINY_RCU is enabled


The race is acceptable, I think we could replace the VM_BUG_ON to
page_ref_add_unless(), just like !CONFIG_TINY_RCU case.

Please just disregard the above comment, I just found CONFIG_TINY_RCU
is for UP only. Sorry for the noise.
