[PATCH v2 3/6] mm/balloon_compaction: isolate balloon pages without lru_lock

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxx>

LRU-lock isn't required for balloon page isolation. This check makes migration
of some ballooned pages mostly impossible because isolate_migratepages_range()
drops LRU lock periodically.
