Subject: [PATCH 3/3] compaction: Check migrate_pages's return value instead of list_empty

Many migrate_page's caller check return value instead of list_empy by
cf608ac19c95804dc2.
This patch makes compaction's migrate_pages consistent with others.
This patch should not change old behavior.

NOTE : This patch depends on [1/3].
