Subject: [PATCH 3.8 089/166] mm: numa: avoid unnecessary work on the failure path

3.8.13.16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit eb4489f69f224356193364dc2762aa009738ca7f upstream.

If a PMD changes during a THP migration then migration aborts but the
failure path is doing more work than is necessary.
