This patch declares compact_nodes prototype in compaction.h
header file.
This will allow us to call compaction from other places.
For example, during system suspend, suppose we want to check
the fragmentation state of the system. Then based on certain
threshold, we can invoke compaction, when system is idle.
There could be other use cases.
