This patch adds 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.

+Description:
+ When this file is written to, all memory within that node
+ will be compacted. When it completes, memory will be free
+ in as contiguous blocks as possible.
