Subject: [PATCH v5] mm: compaction: handle incorrect MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblocks

When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
type pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it)
waiting until an allocation takes ownership of the block may
take too long.  The type of the pageblock remains unchanged
so the pageblock cannot be used as a migration target during
compaction.
