    commit c8244935 upstream.
    
    Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. A fix aimed at preserving page aging
    	information by reducing LRU list churning had the side-effect of
    	reducing THP allocation success rates. This was part of a series
    	to restore the success rates while preserving the reclaim fix.
    
    Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
    noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
    is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list.  This
    had to be partially reverted because some dirty pages can be migrated by
    compaction without blocking.
    
    This patch updates "mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page" by skipping
    over pages that migration has no possibility of migrating to minimise LRU
    disruption.
