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.

I summarized your explanation from the link. You think the summary is not
enough? I can add more text. Let me know if the above text looks
good to you, then I can resend the patch. Thanks.
