Commit 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails") introduced a check for cc->order == -1 in
compact_finished.  We should continue compacting in that case because
the request came from userspace and there is no particular order to
compact for.  Similar check has been added by 82478fb7 (mm: compaction:
prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction) for
compaction_suitable.

The check is, however, done after zone_watermark_ok which uses order as a
right hand argument for shifts.  Not only watermark check is pointless if
we can break out without it but it also uses 1 << -1 which is not well
defined (at least from C standard).  Let's move the -1 check above
zone_watermark_ok.
