Now, to allocate the page for migration, we implement their own functions
and pass it to migrate_pages(). These functions have 3 arguments, pointer
to original page, private data and result argument. Although there are
many allocation functions for migration, one of them, new_page_node() only
uses result argument. It uses result argument in following steps.
1. pass the pointer to allocation function to get an address for storing
information.
2. if we get an address and migration succeed, save node id of new page.
3. if we fail, save error number into it.
But, we don't need to store these information as it does.
First, we don't use error number in fail case. Call-path related to
new_page_node() is shown in the following.
do_move_page_to_node_array() -> migrate_pages() -> unmap_and_move()
-> new_page_node()
If unmap_and_move() failed, migrate_pages() also returns err, and then
do_move_page_to_node_array() skips to set page's status to user buffer.
So we don't need to set error number to each pages on failure case.
Next, we don't need to set node id of the new page in unmap_and_move(),
since it cannot be different with pm->node. In new_page_node(), we always
try to allocate the page in exact node by referencing pm->node. So it is
sufficient to set node id of the new page in new_page_node(), instead of
unmap_and_move().
These two changes make result argument useless, so we can remove it
entirely. It makes the code more undertandable.
