All non-migrateable hugepages should have been caught in has_unmovable_pages:
<--
if (PageHuge(page)) {
struct page *head = compound_head(page);
unsigned int skip_pages;
if (!hugepage_migration_supported(page_hstate(head)))
goto unmovable;
-->
So, there is no need to check again for migrateability here, as it is something
that does not change.
To put it in another way, all huge pages found in scan_movable_pages() should be
migrateable.
In scan_movable_pages() we just need to check whether the hugepage, gigantic or
not, is
in use (aka active) to migrate it.

I do not have an issue sending both changes separedtly.
I mean, this check is the one we need to remove in order to make 1Gb-hugetlb
offlining to proceed.
The removed check from scan_movable_pages() is only removed because it is
redundant
as we already checked for that condition in has_unmovable_pages()
(when isolating the range).
