mm: compaction: add trace events for memory compaction activity

In preparation for a patches promoting the use of memory compaction over
lumpy reclaim, this patch adds trace points for memory compaction
activity.  Using them, we can monitor the scanning activity of the
migration and free page scanners as well as the number and success rates
of pages passed to page migration.
