Subject: [PATCH] mm, compaction: update compaction_result ordering
compaction_result will be used as the primary feedback channel for
compaction users. At the same time try_to_compact_pages (and
potentially others) assume a certain ordering where a more specific
feedback takes precendence.
This gets a bit awkward when we have conflicting feedback from different
zones. E.g one returing COMPACT_COMPLETE meaning the full zone has been
scanned without any outcome while other returns with COMPACT_PARTIAL aka
made some progress. The caller should get COMPACT_PARTIAL because that
means that the compaction still can make some progress. The same
applies for COMPACT_PARTIAL vs COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED.
Reorder PARTIAL to be the largest one so the larger the value is the
more progress we have done.
