This all seems OK.  It's kind of hard to review though because you change
the same line multiple times.  I think it works out better to go top-down
instead of bottom-up.  That is, start with do_numa_page() and pass
&folio->page to numa_migrate_prep.  Then do vm_normal_pmd_folio() followed
by do_huge_pmd_numa_page().  Fourth would have been numa_migrate_prep(),
etc.  I don't want to ask you to redo the entire series, but for future
patch series.

Also, it's nce to do things like remove the unnecessary 'extern' from
function declarations when you change them from page to folio.  And
please try to stick to 80 columns; I know it's not always easy/possible.
