vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled
When built with CONFIG_COMPACTION, kswapd should not try to free contiguous pages, because it is not trying hard enough to have a real chance at being successful, but still disrupts the LRU enough to break other things. Do not do higher order page isolation unless we really are in lumpy reclaim mode. Stop reclaiming pages once we have enough free pages that compaction can deal with things, and we hit the normal order 0 watermarks used by kswapd. Also remove a line of code that increments balanced right before exiting the function.
