Define isolate_movable_page as a static inline function when
CONFIG_MIGRATION is not enable. It should return false
here which means failed to isolate movable pages.

This patch do not have any functional change but to resolve compile
error caused by former commit "HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru
movable page" with CONFIG_MIGRATION disabled.

OK, so we return false here which will make __soft_offline_page return
true all the way up. Is this really what we want? Don't we want to
return EBUSY in that case? The error code propagation here is just
one big mess.
That's right, my stupid coding really make a big mess here.
I will make another version for patch  "HWPOISON:
soft offlining for non-lru movable page" to avoid that.

Thanks
Yisheng Xie.
