Looks better!

I think there's one more cleanup we can do now thanks to your patch: 
dropping the isolate_mode_t formal from isolate_migratepages_block() 
entirely since that function can now just do

	const isolate_mode_t isolate_mode =
		(cc->mode == MIGRATE_ASYNC ? ISOLATE_ASYNC_MIGRATE : 0);

since we already pass in the struct compact_control and isolate_mode only 
depends on MIGRATE_ASYNC or not.

If you'd like to fold that change into this patch because it's logically 
allowed by it, feel free to add my enthusiastic

	Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>

Otherwise, I'll just send a change on top of it if you don't have time.

Thanks!
