------------------------------------------------------ From: Yang Shi yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com Subject: mm/migrate.c: move_pages: fix the return value if there are not-migrated pages
do_move_pages_to_node() might return > 0 value, the number of pages that are not migrated, then the value will be returned to userspace directly. But, move_pages() syscall would just return 0 or errno. So, we need reset the return value to 0 for such case as pre-v4.17 did.
