[PATCH v6 03/14] mm/gup: return an error on migration failure

[Pavel Tatashin]

When migration failure occurs, we still pin pages, which means
that we may pin CMA movable pages which should never be the case.

Instead return an error without pinning pages when migration failure
happens.

No need to retry migrating, because migrate_pages() already retries
10 times.
