Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred compaction
state variables. The remaining case where the variables are touched directly
is when a successful allocation occurs in direct compaction, or is expected
to be successful in the future by kswapd. Here, the lowest order that is
expected to fail is updated, and in the case of successful allocation, the
deferred status and counter is reset completely.
Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this
functionality and make it easier to understand the code. No functional change.
