Scanning pageblock is stopped at the middle of pageblock if enough pages are isolated. In the next run, it begins again at this position and if it find that there is no isolation candidate from the middle of pageblock to end of pageblock, it updates skip-bit. In this case, scanner doesn't start at begin of pageblock so it is not appropriate to set skipbit. This patch fixes this situation that updating skip-bit only happens when whole pageblock is really scanned.
