Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave(). This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.

If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock scan for
async compaction as well.
