From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>
commit d20bdd571ee5c9966191568527ecdb1bd4b52368 upstream.
In isolate_migratepages_block, if we have too many isolated pages and nr_migratepages is not zero, we should try to migrate what we have without wasting time on isolating.
In theory it's possible that multiple parallel compactions will cause too_many_isolated() to become true even if each has isolated less than COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, and loop forever in the while loop. Bailing immediately prevents that.
