mm: move_pages syscall can't return ENOENT when pages are not present

[Zhouping Liu <zliu@redhat.com>]

hi, all

Recently, I found an error in move_pages syscall:

depending on move_pages(2), when page is not present,
it should fail with ENOENT, in fact, it's ok without
any errno.

the following reproducer can easily reproduce
the issue, suggest you get more details by strace.
inside reproducer, I try to move a non-exist page from
node 1 to node 0.

I have tested it on the latest kernel 3.4-rc5 with 2 and 4 numa nodes.
[zliu@ZhoupingLiu ~]$ gcc -o reproducer reproducer.c -lnuma
[zliu@ZhoupingLiu ~]$ ./reproducer 
from_node is 1, to_node is 0
ERROR: move_pages expected FAIL.

I'm not in mail list, please CC me.
