From: Jan Stancek <jstancek@redhat.com>
Subject: mm: migrate: initialize err in do_migrate_pages

After commit 236c32eb1096 ("mm: migrate: clean up migrate_prep{_local}")',
do_migrate_pages can return uninitialized variable 'err' (which is
propagated to user-space as error) when 'from' and 'to' nodesets are
identical.  This can be reproduced with LTP migrate_pages01, which calls
migrate_pages() with same set for both old/new_nodes.

Add 'err' initialization back.
