[PATCH v7 2/4] mm/compaction: enable compacting >0 order folios.

[Zi Yan]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

migrate_pages() supports >0 order folio migration and during compaction,
even if compaction_alloc() cannot provide >0 order free pages,
migrate_pages() can split the source page and try to migrate the base
pages from the split.  It can be a baseline and start point for adding
support for compacting >0 order folios.
