However, if the cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not matter. This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock with isolation candidates is found. The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless work. Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted recently.
