When page is not queued for migration, there are two possible cases:

  * page already on the target node
  * failed to add to migration queue

Current code handle them differently, this leads to a behavior
inconsistency.

Usually for each page's status, we just do store for once. While for the
page already on the target node, we might store the node information for
twice:

  * once when we found the page is on the target node
  * second when moving the pages to target node successfully after above
    action

The reason is even we don't add the page to pagelist, but store_status()
does store in a range which still contains the page.

This patch handles these two cases in the same way to reduce this
inconsistency and also make the code a little easier to read.

Yeah, the improvement is really marginal. I do not feel strongly one way
or another.
