do_migrate_pages() can return the number of pages not migrated.
Because migrate_pages() syscall return this value directly,
migrate_pages() syscall may return the number of pages not migrated.
In fail case in migrate_pages() syscall, we should return error value.
So change err to -EIO
Additionally, Correct comment above do_migrate_pages()
