[RFC PATCH 02/10] mm/compaction: skip useless pfn for scanner's cached pfn

[Joonsoo Kim]

Scanner's cached pfn is used to determine the start position of scanner
at next compaction run. Current cached pfn points the skipped pageblock
so we uselessly checks whether pageblock is valid for compaction and
skip-bit is set or not. If we set scanner's cached pfn to next pfn of
skipped pageblock, we don't need to do this check.
