If the call __alloc_contig_migrate_range() in alloc_contig_range
returns -EBUSY, processing continues so that test_pages_isolated()
is called where there is a tracepoint to identify the busy pages.
However, it is possible for busy pages to become available between
the calls to these two routines. In this case, the range of pages
may be allocated. Unfortunately, the original return code (ret
== -EBUSY) is still set and returned to the caller. Therefore,
the caller believes the pages were not allocated and they are leaked.
Update the return code with the value from test_pages_isolated().
