From: zhouxianrong <redacted>

the reason for why to do this is based on below factors.

1. larg file read/write operations with order 0 can fragmentize
   memory rapidly.

2. when a special filesystem does not supply migratepage callback,
   kernel would fallback to default function fallback_migrate_page.
   but fallback_migrate_page could not migrate diry page nicely;
   specially kcompactd with MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT could not migrate
   diry pages due to this until clear_page_dirty_for_io in some
   procedure. i think it is not suitable here in this scenario.
   for dirty pages we should migrate it rather than skip or writeout
   it in kcomapctd with MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. i think this problem is
   for all filesystem without migratepage not only for block device fs. 
   
so for compaction under large file writing supply migratepage for
def_blk_aops.
