Example before:
transhuge-stres-10730 [004]  5897.713989: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 
zone=>-<8s order=-2119871790 ret=

Example after:
transhuge-stres-4235  [000]   453.149280: mm_compaction_finished: node=0 
zone=ffffffff81815d7a order=9 ret=

(I will send patches to fix the string handling in the tracepoints so 
it's on par with in-kernel printing via trace_pipe:)

transhuge-stres-10921 [007] ...1  6307.140205: mm_compaction_finished: 
node=0 zone=Normal   order=9 ret=partial
