Let's simplify the code and always call do_move_pages_to_node() in case we did not queue a page for migration. Note that pages that are already on the target node are not added to the pagelist and are, therefore, ignored by do_move_pages_to_node() - there is no functional change. The status of such a page is now only stored once.
