[RFC PATCH 17/26] mm: compaction: refactor __compaction_suitable()

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Tue Apr 18 2023 - 15:15:11 EST


__compaction_suitable() is supposed to check for available migration
targets. However, it also checks whether the operation was requested
via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory, and whether the original allocation
request can already succeed. These don't apply to all callsites.

Move the checks out to the callers, so that later patches can deal
with them one by one. No functional change intended.
