mm: fix do_pages_move status handling
Li Wang has reported that LTP move_pages04 test fails with the current
tree:
LTP move_pages04:
TFAIL : move_pages04.c:143: status[1] is EPERM, expected EFAULT
The test allocates an array of two pages, one is present while the other
is not (resp. backed by zero page) and it expects EFAULT for the second
page as the man page suggests. We are reporting EPERM which doesn't make
any sense and this is a result of a bug from cf5f16b23ec9 ("mm: unclutter
THP migration").
do_pages_move tries to handle as many pages in one batch as possible so we
queue all pages with the same node target together and that corresponds to
[start, i] range which is then used to update status array.
add_page_for_migration will correctly notice the zero (resp. !present)
page and returns with EFAULT which gets written to the status. But if
this is the last page in the array we do not update start and so the last
store_status after the loop will overwrite the range of the last batch
with NUMA_NO_NODE (which corresponds to EPERM).
Fix this by simply bailing out from the last flush if the pagelist is
empty as there is clearly nothing more to do.
