Subject: [PATCH] mm/migrate: fix indexing bug (off by one) and avoid out of bound access

From: Mark Hairgrove <mhairgrove@...dia.com>

Index was incremented before last use and thus the second array
could dereference to an invalid address (not mentioning the fact
that it did not properly clear the entry we intended to clear).
