I thought about the replacement, but there are couple of migration events
have no explanation:

#ifdef CONFIG_MIGRATION
        "pgmigrate_success",
        "pgmigrate_fail",
        "thp_migration_success",
        "thp_migration_fail",
        "thp_migration_split",
#endif

It's better to fill them together, also change current explanation accordinglly.
but I'm not so confident on this now...

Thanks
