This will also trigger reset when called from kswapd through compact_pgdat() and
!compaction_deferred() is true.
The reset should be restricted to cc->order == -1 which only happens from /proc
trigger.

I've not been familiar with compaction code.
I think cc->order is -1 only if __compact_pgdat is called via /proc.

Yes that's what I meant.

This is ugly but I don't have better solution.
Do you have better idea?

It's not ugly IMHO. There are more tests for -1 like this, e.g. in
compaction_suitable(). Maybe just add some comment such as:

/*
 * When called via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory make sure we compact
 * the whole zone regardless of cached scanner positions.
 */
