mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention

Browse Source 
Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled.  This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator.  This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.

The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated.  It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.
