I agree and mentioned it needed fixing. I did not create a new counter
but I properly account for PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAIL now. I
did not create a new NUMA_PAGE_MIGRATE counter because I didn't feel it
was necessary. Instead I just do this

count_vm_events(PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS, HPAGE_PMD_NR);
count_vm_numa_events(NUMA_PAGE_MIGRATE, HPAGE_PMD_NR);
