Subject: [PATCH -V2 6/7] migrate_pages(): fix failure counting for THP splitting

If THP is failed to be migrated, it may be split and retry.  But after
splitting, the head page will be left in "from" list, although THP
migration failure has been counted already.  If the head page is
failed to be migrated too, the failure will be counted twice
incorrectly.  So this is fixed in this patch via moving the head page
of THP after splitting to "thp_split_pages" too.
