Re: [PATCH 09/11] mm, compaction: Abstract compaction feedback to helpers

Hi Andrew,
Vlastimil has pointed out[1] that using compaction_withdrawn() for THP
allocations has some non-trivial consequences. While I still think that
the check is OK it is true we shouldn't sneak in a potential behavior
change into something that basically provides an API. So can you fold
the following partial revert into the original patch please?
