[PATCH] mm/compaction: count pages and stop correctly during page isolation.

[Zi Yan]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

In isolate_migratepages_block, when cc->alloc_contig is true, we are
able to isolate compound pages, nr_migratepages and nr_isolated did not
count compound pages correctly, causing us to isolate more pages than we
thought. Use thp_nr_pages to count pages. Otherwise, we might be trapped
in too_many_isolated while loop, since the actual isolated pages can go
up to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX*512=16384, where COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX is 32,
since we stop isolation after cc->nr_migratepages reaches to
COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX.

In addition, after we fix the issue above, cc->nr_migratepages could
never be equal to COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX if compound pages are isolated,
thus page isolation could not stop as we intended. Change the isolation
stop condition to >=.
