mm/migrate: preserve exact soft-dirty state

Browse source 
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.
