The logic in do_pages_move() is a little mess for audience to read and has some potential error on handling the return value. Especially there are three calls on do_move_pages_to_node() and store_status() with almost the same form. This patch set tries to make the code a little friendly for audience by consolidate the calls. This patch (of 4): At this point, we always have i >= start. If i == start, store_status() will return 0. So we can drop the check for i > start.
