There is a race condition between hugepage migration and change_protection(),
where hugetlb_change_protection() doesn't care about migration entries and
wrongly overwrites them. That causes unexpected results like kernel crash.
HWPoison entries also can cause the same problem.
This patch adds is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check in this
function to do proper actions.
