[Devel] [PATCH rh7 13/25] ms/mm, compaction: ignore pageblock skip when manually invoking compaction

[Andrey Ryabinin]

From: David Rientjes <rientjes at google.com>

The cached pageblock hint should be ignored when triggering compaction
through /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory so all eligible memory is isolated.
Manually invoking compaction is known to be expensive, there's no need
to skip pageblocks based on heuristics (mainly for debugging).
