It does report back the migration failures as well. In new_page_node
there is '*result = &pm->status' which going forward in unmap_and_move
will hold migration error or node ID of the new page.

	newpage = get_new_page(page, private, &result);
	............
	if (result) {
		if (rc)
			*result = rc;
		else
			*result = page_to_nid(newpage);
	}
