Introduce is_via_compact_memory helper function indicating compacting
via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory to improve readability.

To catch this situation in __compaction_suitable, use order as parameter
directly instead of using struct compact_control.

This patch has no functional changes.
This is a similar case as for the sysrq_oom. I do not like the name that
much though. I am not familiar with the compaction too much to help you
with a better name, unfortunatelly. Maybe is_global_compaction()...
