Keep the same logic as update_pageblock_skip, only set skip if
no_set_skip_hint is false which is more reasonable.

Um, the fast_find_migrateblock() and fast_isolate_freepages() will rely on the skip flag and ignore the cc->no_set_skip_hint. So not sure it is helpful. Let's see if Mel has some input.
