[PATCH 6/6] mm: compaction: skip fast freepages isolation if enough freepages are isolated

[Baolin Wang]

I've observed that fast isolation often isolates more pages than
cc->migratepages, and the excess freepages will be released back to the
buddy system. So skip fast freepages isolation if enough freepages are
isolated to save some CPU cycles.
