When running autonuma with enabling multi-size THP, I encountered the
following kernel crash issue:
[ 134.290216] list_del corruption. prev->next should be fffff9ad42e1c490,
but was dead000000000100. (prev=fffff9ad42399890)

The reason for the crash is that, the commit 85ce2c517a ("memcontrol:
only transfer the memcg data for migration") removed the charging and
uncharging operations of the migration folios and cleared the memcg data
of the old folio.
During the subsequent release process of the old large folio in
destroy_large_folio(), if the large folio needs to be removed from the
split queue, an incorrect split queue can be obtained (which is
pgdat->deferred_split_queue) because the old folio's memcg is NULL now.
This can lead to list operations being performed under the wrong split
queue lock protection, resulting in a list crash as above.
After the migration, the old folio is going to be freed, so we can remove
it from the split queue in mem_cgroup_migrate() a bit earlier before
clearing the memcg data to avoid getting incorrect split queue.
