mm: compaction: abort compaction if too many pages are isolated and caller is asynchronous V2

commit: f9e35b3b41f47c4e17d8132edbcab305a6aaa4b0 upstream

Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages.  This is all
very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a
large number of pages can be isolated.  An "asynchronous" process can
stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that
firefox can stall for 10s of seconds.  This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a
hugepage promotion than stall a process.
