The sysctl_compact_memory is mostly unsed in mm/compaction.c It just acts as a place holder for sysctl. Thus we can remove it from here and move the declaration directly in kernel/sysctl.c itself. This will also eliminate the extern declaration from header file. No functionality is broken or changed this way.
