mm: compaction: add /sys trigger for per-node memory compaction

Browse source 
Add a per-node sysfs file called compact.  When the file is written to,
each zone in that node is compacted.  The intention that this would be
used by something like a job scheduler in a batch system before a job
starts so that the job can allocate the maximum number of hugepages
without significant start-up cost.

What: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/compact
Date: February 2010
Contact: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>
Description:
When this file is written to, all memory within that node
will be compacted. When it completes, memory will be freed
into blocks which have as many contiguous pages as possible
