mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage

commit b969c4ab9f182a6e1b2a0848be349f99714947b0 upstream.

Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page
	aging information by reducing LRU list churning had the side-effect
	of reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series
	to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix.

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.
