mm, compaction: simplify __alloc_pages_direct_compact feedback interface
__alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two variables: - deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned COMPACT_DEFERRED - contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks __alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.
