[PATCH] mm: compaction: Do not compact pgdat for order-0

[Mel Gorman]

If kswapd was reclaiming for a high order and resets it to 0 due to
fragmentation it will still call compact_pgdat. For the most part, this will
fail a compaction_suitable() test and not compact but it is unnecessarily
sloppy. It could be fixed in the caller but fix it in the API instead.
