If migration is failed, normally we call putback_lru_pages which
decreases NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE].
It means we should increase NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE] before calling
putback_lru_pages. But soft_offline_page dosn't it.
It can make NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE] with negative value and in UP build
, zone_page_state will say huge isolated pages so too_many_isolated
functions be deceived completely. At last, some process stuck in D state
as it expect while loop ending with congestion_wait.
But it's never ending story.
If it is right, it would be -stable stuff.
