Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/migrate: make migrate_pages_batch() stats consistent.

From: Zi Yan <ziy@...dia.com>

As Ying pointed out in [1], stats->nr_thp_failed needs to be updated to
avoid stats inconsistency between MIGRATE_SYNC and MIGRATE_ASYNC when
calling migrate_pages_batch().

Because if not, when migrate_pages_batch() is called via
migrate_pages(MIGRATE_ASYNC), nr_thp_failed will not be increased and
when migrate_pages_batch() is called via migrate_pages(MIGRATE_SYNC*),
nr_thp_failed will be increase in migrate_pages_sync() by
stats->nr_thp_failed += astats.nr_thp_split.
