[PATCH v4 4/5] mm/compaction: more trace to understand when/why compaction start/finish

[Joonsoo Kim]

It is not well analyzed that when/why compaction start/finish or not. With
these new tracepoints, we can know much more about start/finish reason of
compaction. I can find following bug with these tracepoint.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg81582.html

Change from v2: omit alloc_flag, classzone_idx from tracepoint output
