mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()

isolate_migratepages_range() is the main function of the compaction
scanner, called either on a single pageblock by isolate_migratepages()
during regular compaction, or on an arbitrary range by CMA's
__alloc_contig_migrate_range().  It currently perfoms two pageblock-wide
compaction suitability checks, and because of the CMA callpath, it tracks
if it crossed a pageblock boundary in order to repeat those checks.

However, closer inspection shows that those checks are always true for CMA:
- isolation_suitable() is true because CMA sets cc->ignore_skip_hint to true
- migrate_async_suitable() check is skipped because CMA uses sync compaction

We can therefore move the compaction-specific checks to
isolate_migratepages() and simplify isolate_migratepages_range().
Furthermore, we can mimic the freepage scanner family of functions, which
has isolate_freepages_block() function called both by compaction from
isolate_freepages() and by CMA from isolate_freepages_range(), where each
use-case adds own specific glue code.  This allows further code
simplification.

Thus, we rename isolate_migratepages_range() to
isolate_migratepages_block() and limit its functionality to a single
pageblock (or its subset).  For CMA, a new different
isolate_migratepages_range() is created as a CMA-specific wrapper for the
_block() function.  The checks specific to compaction are moved to
isolate_migratepages().  As part of the unification of these two families
of functions, we remove the redundant zone parameter where applicable,
since zone pointer is already passed in cc->zone.

Furthermore, going back to compact_zone() and compact_finished() when
pageblock is found unsuitable (now by isolate_migratepages()) is wasteful
- the checks are meant to skip pageblocks quickly.  The patch therefore
also introduces a simple loop into isolate_migratepages() so that it does
not return immediately on failed pageblock checks, but keeps going until
isolate_migratepages_range() gets called once.  Similarily to
isolate_freepages(), the function periodically checks if it needs to
reschedule or abort async compaction.
