Subject: [PATCH] migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry

In commit fd4a7ac32918 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split is failed
due to page refcnt"), if the THP splitting fails due to page reference
count, we will retry to improve migration successful rate.  But the
failed splitting is counted as migration failure and migration retry,
which will cause duplicated failure counting.  So, in this patch, this
is fixed via undoing the failure counting if we decide to retry.  The
patch is tested via failure injection.

Fixes: fd4a7ac32918 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split is failed due to page refcnt")
