Subject: [v2 PATCH] mm: move_pages: report the number of non-attempted pages

Since commit a49bd4d71637 ("mm, numa: rework do_pages_move"),
the semantic of move_pages() was changed to return the number of
non-migrated pages (failed to migration) and the call would be aborted
immediately if migrate_pages() returns positive value.  But it didn't
report the number of pages that we even haven't attempted to migrate.
So, fix it by including non-attempted pages in the return value.
