We need to deposit pre-allocated PTE page table when a PMD migration
entry is copied in copy_huge_pmd().  Otherwise, we will leak the
pre-allocated page and cause a NULL pointer dereference later in
zap_huge_pmd().

The missing counters during PMD migration entry copy process are added
as well.

The bug report is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/29/214
