Changelog since V2
o Fix BUG_ON triggered due to pages left on cc.migratepages
o Make compact_zone_order() require non-NULL arg `contended'

Changelog since V1
o only abort the compaction if lock is contended or run too long
o Rearranged the code by Andrea Arcangeli.

isolate_migratepages_range() might isolate no pages if for example when
zone->lru_lock is contended and running asynchronous compaction. In this
case, we should abort compaction, otherwise, compact_zone will run a
useless loop and make zone->lru_lock is even contended.
