mm/huge_memory: check pmd_special() only after pmd_present()

Browse Source 
We should only check for pmd_special() after we made sure that we have a
present PMD.  For example, if we have a migration PMD, pmd_special() might
indicate that we have a special PMD although we really don't.

This fixes confusing migration entries as PFN mappings, and not doing what
we are supposed to do in the "is_swap_pmd()" case further down in the
function -- including messing up COW, page table handling and accounting.
