Subject: mm/compaction: call list_is_{first}/{last} more intuitively in move_freelist_{head}/{tail}

We use move_freelist_head after list_for_each_entry_reverse to skip recent
pages. And there is no need to do actual move if all freepages are
searched in list_for_each_entry_reverse, e.g. freepage point to first
page in freelist. It's more intuitively to call list_is_first with list
entry as the first argument and list head as the second argument to check
if list entry is the first list entry instead of call list_is_last with
list entry and list head passed in reverse.
Similarly, call list_is_last in move_freelist_tail is more intuitively.
