Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page. Currently, if we find
high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it to
order-0 pages and use them as migration target. It is contrary to purpose
of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for
migration target.
Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simply.
There is no functional changes from this clean-up.
