Re: [patch v3 4/6] mm, compaction: embed migration mode in compact_control

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the page
allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.

Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction depending
on the value of this bool.  Convert the bool to enum migrate_mode and pass the
migration mode in directly.  Later, we'll want to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for
thp allocations in the pagefault patch to avoid unnecessary latency.

This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire system
or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Everywhere else it's 'mode' and only in this function it's still called 'sync', that's confusing.
