mm: page_isolation: avoid calling folio_hstate() without hugetlb_lock

I found a NULL pointer dereference as followed:

As has_unmovable_pages() call folio_hstate() without hugetlb_lock, there
is a race to free the HugeTLB page between PageHuge() and folio_hstate(). 
There is no need to add hugetlb_lock here as the HugeTLB page can be freed
in lot of places.  So it's enough to unfold folio_hstate() and add a check
to avoid NULL pointer dereference for hugepage_migration_supported().
