mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction
Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call left off. Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be potentially very expensive. This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for sync compaction.
