[PATCH 3/3] compaction accouting fix

From: Minchan Kim <hidden>
Date: 2011-08-29 16:43:03
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

I saw the following accouting of compaction during test of the series.

compact_blocks_moved 251
compact_pages_moved 44

It's very awkward to me although it's possbile because it means we try to compact 251 blocks
but it just migrated 44 pages. As further investigation, I found isolate_migratepages doesn't
isolate any pages but it returns ISOLATE_SUCCESS and then, it just increases compact_blocks_moved
but doesn't increased compact_pages_moved.

This patch makes accouting of compaction works only in case of success of isolation.
