Have you actually encountered this problem? If migrate_pages() fails
with a positive value, the code that you are removing kicks in and
-EBUSY is assigned to ret (now that I look at it, I think that in the
current code the "return ret > 0 ? 0 : ret;" statement could be reduced
to "return ret;"). Your code seems to be cleaner, but the commit
message does not look accurate to me.
