mm: compaction: memory compaction core
This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by
relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone.
A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner.
Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration
scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable
pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called
migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches
for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them
available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are
then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.
