  From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

Before last commit, memory compaction only migrates order-0 folios and
skips >0 order folios. Last commit splits all >0 order folios during
compaction. This commit migrates >0 order folios during compaction by
keeping isolated free pages at their original size without splitting them
into order-0 pages and using them directly during migration process.

What is different from the prior implementation:
1. All isolated free pages are kept in a NR_PAGE_ORDERS array of page
   lists, where each page list stores free pages in the same order.
2. All free pages are not post_alloc_hook() processed nor buddy pages,
   although their orders are stored in first page's private like buddy
   pages.
3. During migration, in new page allocation time (i.e., in
   compaction_alloc()), free pages are then processed by post_alloc_hook().
   When migration fails and a new page is returned (i.e., in
   compaction_free()), free pages are restored by reversing the
   post_alloc_hook() operations using newly added
   free_pages_prepare_fpi_none().

Step 3 is done for a latter optimization that splitting and/or merging free
pages during compaction becomes easier.

Note: without splitting free pages, compaction can end prematurely due to
migration will return -ENOMEM even if there is free pages. This happens
when no order-0 free page exist and compaction_alloc() return NULL.

I did not increase nr_pages here, so compaction_alloc() thought no free page
was isolated.

This is the fix:

I will send out v3 once I rerun vm-scalability and thpcompact.
