This currently isn't relevant for -ENOMEM and I think it would be
clearer if it was dropped.

Makes sense not to continue migration with low memory, but shouldn't we
add the remaining unmigrated hugetlb folios to stats->nr_failed_pages as
well? Ie. don't we still have to continue the iteration to to find and
account for these?

> +				goto out;

Given this is the only use of the out label, and that there is a special
case for -ENOMEM there anyway I think it would be clearer to return
directly.

How do we hit this case? Shouldn't migrate_hugetlbs() have already moved
any hugetlb folios off the from list?
