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
