thp_split_pages are retried during migration, we should not count
their failure if no_subpage_counting == true too.  This is done this
patch to fix the failure counting for THP subpages retrying.

Good catch. Totally agree with you. It seems we can move the condition into -EAGAIN case like other cases did?

Anyway this patch looks good to me.
