In some cases migrate_pages could return zero while still leaving a
few pages in the pagelist (and some caller wouldn't notice it has to
call putback_lru_pages after commit
cf608ac19c95804dc2df43b1f4f9e068aa9034ab).

Add one missing putback_lru_pages not added by commit
cf608ac19c95804dc2df43b1f4f9e068aa9034ab.
