We should remove the page from the list if we fail with ENOSYS,
since migrate_pages() consider error cases except -ENOMEM and -EAGAIN
as permanent failure and it assumes that the page would be removed from
the list. Without this patch, we could overcount number of failure.
In addition, we should put back the new hugepage if
!hugepage_migration_support(). If not, we would leak hugepage memory.
