This change just doesn't make any sense to me. Why should we bail out if
the store_status is successul? I am trying to wrap my head around the
test case. 6b9d757ecafc ("mm, numa: rework do_pages_move") tried to
explain that move_pages has some semantic issues and the new
implementation might be not 100% replacement. Anyway I am studying the
test case to come up with a proper fix.
