[RFC PATCH 2/4] mm: compaction: skip isolating large folios that satisfy the mTHP order

[Bo Zhang]

When proactive compaction is triggered via compact_memory and mTHP
always-enabled orders are configured, skip isolating folios whose order
is >= the minimum always-enabled mTHP order. These folios already satisfy
mTHP allocation requirements and migrating them is unnecessary overhead.
