Subject: mm/compaction.c: fix zoneindex in kcompactd()

From: Chen Feng <puck.chen@hisilicon.com>

commit 6cd9dc3e75078ef646076fa63adfb9b85ced0b66 upstream.

While testing the kcompactd in my platform 3G MEM only DMA ZONE.  I
found the kcompactd never wakeup.  It seems the zoneindex has already
minus 1 before.  So the traverse here should be <=.

It fixes a regression where kswapd could previously compact, but
kcompactd not.  Not a crash fix though.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix kcompactd_do_work() as well, per Hugh]
