mm: soft-offline: don't free target page in successful page migration

But there is a race condition where a source page looks isolated (i.e. the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but somewhat linked to pcplist. Then another soft offline event calls drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is forbidden. This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn(). But I don't want to play with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598d2df "mm: hwpoison: drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page freeing code for this soft offline's purpose. Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft offline. There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1. OTOH, soft offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison. This difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the above. So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a solution for this problem. We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline. With this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code.
