[PATCH] SwapMig: Extend parameters for migrate_pages()

Extend the parameters of migrate_pages() to allow the caller control over the
fate of successfully migrated or impossible to migrate pages.

Swap migration and direct migration will have the same interface after this
patch so that patches can be independently applied to the policy layer and the
core migration code.
