mm: compaction: skip more fully scanned pageblock
In fast_isolate_around(), it assumes the pageblock is fully scanned if cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages after trying to isolate some free pages, and will set skip flag to avoid scanning in future. However this can miss setting the skip flag for a fully scanned pageblock (returned 'start_pfn' is equal to 'end_pfn') in the case where cc->nr_freepages is larger than cc->nr_migratepages. So using the returned 'start_pfn' from isolate_freepages_block() and 'end_pfn' to decide if a pageblock is fully scanned makes more sense. It can also cover the case where cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages, which means the 'start_pfn' is usually equal to 'end_pfn' except some uncommon fatal error occurs after non-strict mode isolation.
