This should be CONFIG_COMPACTION since mm/compaction.c won't be compiled 
without it; the later additions to this ifdef, fragmentation_index() and 
try_to_compact_pages(), can also be under CONFIG_COMPACTION since neither 
are used outside of the compaction core directly (__fragmentation_index() 
from vmstat uses its wrapped function at file scope).

This needs to be CONFIG_COMPACTION as well, we won't have the handler 
without mm/compaction.c.
