mm: compaction: move fatal signal check out of compact_checklock_irqsave
Commit c67fe3752abe ("mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks
are contended or taking too long") addressed a lock contention problem
in compaction by introducing compact_checklock_irqsave() that effecively
aborting async compaction in the event of compaction.
To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()
check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading. It
"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with
locking as such. It just happens to work in a desirable fashion.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to
isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs. Arguably the same check
should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.
