Subject: mm: migrate: fix return value if all subpages of THPs are migrated successfully
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:34:21 +0800
During THP migration, if THPs are not migrated but they are split and all
subpages are migrated successfully, migrate_pages() will still return the
number of THP pages that were not migrated. This will confuse the callers
of migrate_pages(). For example, the longterm pinning will failed though
all pages are migrated successfully.
Thus we should return 0 to indicate that all pages are migrated in this
case
