mm, compaction: rename compact_control->rescan to finish_pageblock

Patch series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction".

Commit 7efc3b726103 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
fixed a problem where pageblocks found by fast_find_migrateblock() were
ignored. Unfortunately there were numerous bug reports complaining about high
CPU usage and massive stalls once 6.1 was released. Due to the severity,
the patch was reverted by Vlastimil as a short-term fix[1] to -stable.		

The underlying problem for each of the bugs is suspected to be the
repeated scanning of the same pageblocks.  This series should guarantee
forward progress even with commit 7efc3b726103.  More information is in
the changelog for patch 4.

This patch (of 4):

The rescan field was not well named albeit accurate at the time.  Rename
the field to finish_pageblock to indicate that the remainder of the
pageblock should be scanned regardless of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX.  The intent
is that pageblocks with transient failures get marked for skipping to
avoid revisiting the same pageblock.
