When users set GC_URGENT or GC_MID, they expected to do GCs right away.
But, there's a condition to bypass it. Let's indicate we need to do now
in the thread.

.should_migrate_blocks is used to force migrating blocks in full
section, so what is the condition here? GC should not never select
a full section, right?

Thanks,
