Subject: mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target -fix

Full compaction of a node passes in negative orders which can lead to
array boundary issues.  While it could be addressed in the control flow of
the primary loop, it would be fragile so explicitly check for the
condition.  This is a fix for the mmotm patch
broken-out/mm-compaction-use-free-lists-to-quickly-locate-a-migration-target.patch
