Currently, migration code increases num_poisoned_pages on failed
migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial
of memory-failure. It will make the stat wrong.
As well, it marks page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial
failed. It would make we cannot recover the corrupted page using
memory-failure facility.
This patches fixes it.
