[PATCH 3.14 22/37] mm/compaction: disallow high-order page for migration target

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

commit 7d348b9ea64db0a315d777ce7d4b06697f946503 upstream.

Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page.  Currently, if we
find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it
to order-0 pages and use them as migration target.  It is contrary to
purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for
migration target.

Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify
the code.  There is no functional changes from this clean-up.
