mm: hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range()

Commit 4a705fef ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle
migration/hwpoisoned entry") changed the order of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() and huge_ptep_get(), which leads to breakage
in some workloads like hugepage-backed heap allocation via libhugetlbfs.
This patch fixes it.

The test program for the problem is shown below:

  $ cat heap.c
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <string.h>

  #define HPS 0x200000

  int main() {
  	int i;
  	char *p = malloc(HPS);
  	memset(p, '1', HPS);
  	for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  		if (!fork()) {
  			memset(p, '2', HPS);
  			p = malloc(HPS);
  			memset(p, '3', HPS);
  			free(p);
  			return 0;
  		}
  	}
  	sleep(1);
  	free(p);
  	return 0;
  }

  $ export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes ; export HUGETLB_NO_PREFAULT= ; hugectl --heap ./heap

Fixes 4a705fef ("hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle
migration/hwpoisoned entry"), so is applicable to -stable kernels which
include it.
