Subject: [PATCH] mm: move_pages: fix the return value if there are not-migrated pages

The do_move_pages_to_node() might return > 0 value, the number of pages
that are not migrated, then the value will be returned to userspace
directly.  But, move_pages() syscall would just return 0 or errno.  So,
we need reset the return value to 0 for such case as what pre-v4.17 did.
