mm/migrate: set swap entry values of THP tail pages properly. 

The tail pages in a THP can have swap entry information stored in their
private field. When migrating to a new page, all tail pages of the new
page need to update ->private to avoid future data corruption.

This fix is stable-only, since after commit 07e09c483c ("mm/huge_memory:
work on folio->swap instead of page->private when splitting folio"),
subpages of a swapcached THP no longer requires the maintenance.

Adding THPs to the swapcache was introduced in commit
38d8b4e6bd ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out"),
where each subpage of a THP added to the swapcache had its own swapcache
entry and required the ->private field to point to the correct swapcache
entry. Later, when THP migration functionality was implemented in commit
616b837153 ("mm: thp: enable thp migration in generic path"),
it initially did not handle the subpages of swapcached THPs, failing to
update their ->private fields or replace the subpage pointers in the
swapcache. Subsequently, commit e71769ae52 ("mm: enable thp migration
for shmem thp") addressed the swapcache update aspect. This patch fixes
the update of subpage ->private fields.
