Subject: mm: fix kcompactd hang during memory offlining
Assume memory47 is the last online block left in node1. This will hang:
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory47/state
After a couple of minutes, the following pops up in dmesg:
INFO: task bash:957 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 4.6.0-rc6+ #6
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

kcompactd is waiting for kcompactd_max_order > 0 when it's woken up to
actually exit. Check kthread_should_stop() to break out of the wait.
