Wonhyuk Yang b55ca5264b mm/compaction: fix 'limit' in fast_isolate_freepages
Because of 'min(1, ...)', fast_isolate_freepages set 'limit' to 0 or 1.
This takes away the opportunities of find candinate pages.  So, by making
enough scans available, increases the probability of finding the
appropriate freepage.

Tested it on the thpscale and the results are as follows.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
