[PATCH] mm: migrate: Do not retry 10 times for the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP

[Baolin Wang]

If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will
be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate
again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop, since
we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop.

Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the subpages
of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already regarded the
THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for the worst case,
will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion [1].
