mm: compaction: perform a faster migration scan when migrating asynchronously
try_to_compact_pages() is initially called to only migrate pages asychronously and kswapd always compacts asynchronously. Both are being optimistic so it is important to complete the work as quickly as possible to minimise stalls. This patch alters the scanner when asynchronous to only consider MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks as migration candidates. This reduces stalls when allocating huge pages while not impairing allocation success rates as a full scan will be performed if necessary after direct reclaim.
