Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.txt: document interaction between compaction and the unevictable LRU

The memory compaction code uses the migration code to do most of the
work in compaction.  However, the compaction code interacts with the
unevictable LRU differently than migration code and this difference
should be noted in the documentation.

+COMPACTING MLOCKED PAGES
+------------------------
+
+The unevictable LRU can be scanned for compactable regions and the default
+behavior is to do so.  /proc/sys/vm/compact_unevictable_allowed controls
+this behavior (see Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt).  Once scanning of the
+unevictable LRU is enabled, the work of compaction is mostly handled by
+the page migration code and the same work flow as described in MIGRATING
+MLOCKED PAGES will apply.
