Subject: mm,compaction: fix isolate_migratepages_block() for THP=n

PageTrans* helpers are always false if THP is disabled at compile-time. 
It means isolate_migratepages_block() will fail to detect hugetlb pages in
this case.

Let's use PageCompound() instead.  With a small tweak to how we calculate
next low_pfn it will make isolate_migratepages_block() ready to see tail
pages.
