[Devel] [PATCH rh7 20/25] ms/mm, compaction: terminate async compaction when rescheduling

From: David Rientjes <rientjes at google.com>

Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave().  This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.

If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.
