[PATCH 5/6] mm: compaction: do not set pageblock skip bit when already set

[Vlastimil Babka]

Compaction migratepages scanner calls update_pageblock_skip() for blocks where
isolation failed. It currently does that also for blocks where no isolation
was attempted because the skip bit was already set. This is wasteful, so this
patch reuses the existing skipped_async_unsuitable flag to avoid setting the
skip bit again.
