[PATCH 2/5] mm/compaction: do not call suitable_migration_target() on every page

[Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>]

suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for
migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every
page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock.

suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not,
but it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once
within pageblock range has no problem.
