When the compaction is activated via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
it would better scan the whole zone.
And some platform, for instance ARM, has the start_pfn of a zone is zero.
Therefore the first try to compaction via /proc doesn't work.
It needs to force to reset compaction scanner position at first.

That shouldn't be a valid email address.

It's my fault. I'm going to send patch again.

I was thinking that maybe this would be better handled as part of the
comapct_zone() logic, i.e. set cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn based on a
helper function that understands cc->order == -1 should compact the entire
zone.  However, after scanning the entire zone as a result of this write,
the existing cached pfns probably don't matter anymore.  So this seems
fine.
