Subject: mm,hwpoison: return -EBUSY when migration fails
Currently, we return -EIO when we fail to migrate the page.
Migrations' failures are rather transient as they can happen due to
several reasons, e.g: high page refcount bump, mapping->migrate_page
failing etc. All meaning that at that time the page could not be
migrated, but that has nothing to do with an EIO error.
Let us return -EBUSY instead, as we do in case we failed to isolate the
page.
While are it, let us remove the "ret" print as its value does not change.
