All pages isolated for the migration have an elevated reference count
and therefore seeing a reference count equal to 1 means that the last
user of the page has dropped the reference and the page has became
unused and there doesn't make much sense to migrate it anymore. This has
been done for regular pages and this patch does the same for hugetlb
pages. Although the likelyhood of the race is rather small for hugetlb
pages it makes sense the two code paths in sync.
