well, that helps readability. But what does is_balloon_page() return
when invoked on a balloon page when CONFIG_COMPACTION=n? False,
methinks.
I think the code as you previously had it was OK, but the
is_balloon_page() name is misleading. It really wants to be called
is_potentially_compactible_balloon_page() :( Maybe rename it to
compactible_balloon_page()?
