mm: compaction: skip more fully scanned pageblock 

In fast_isolate_around(), it assumes the pageblock is fully scanned if
cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages after trying to isolate some free
pages, and will set skip flag to avoid scanning in future.  However this
can miss setting the skip flag for a fully scanned pageblock (returned
'start_pfn' is equal to 'end_pfn') in the case where cc->nr_freepages is
larger than cc->nr_migratepages.

So using the returned 'start_pfn' from isolate_freepages_block() and
'end_pfn' to decide if a pageblock is fully scanned makes more sense.  It
can also cover the case where cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages,
which means the 'start_pfn' is usually equal to 'end_pfn' except some
uncommon fatal error occurs after non-strict mode isolation.
