Before commit b5bade978e9b ("mm: migrate: fix the return value of
migrate_pages()"), the tail pages of THP will be put in the "from"
list directly. So one of the loop cursors (page2) needs to be reset,
as is done in try_split_thp() via list_safe_reset_next(). But after
the commit, the tail pages of THP will be put in a dedicated
list (thp_split_pages). That is, the "from" list will not be changed
during splitting. So, it's unnecessary to call list_safe_reset_next()
anymore.

This is a code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected.
