[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting

__folio_migrate_mapping() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON for the
destination folio when `folio_test_anon(folio) && folio_test_large(folio)`
is true. However, hugetlb folios satisfy both conditions despite having a
completely separate accounting system — they use hugetlb_add_anon_rmap()
which does not touch mTHP stats, and their free path also bypasses the
mTHP decrement in __free_pages_prepare().

This causes MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON to be incremented on each hugetlb
migration without a corresponding decrement, permanently inflating the
nr_anon counter.

Add a !folio_test_hugetlb() check to __folio_migrate_mapping() so that
only actual mTHP folios are counted.

Fixes: 5d65c8d758f2 ("mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size")
