In strict mode, we should return 0 if there is any hole in pageblock. If
we successfully isolated pages at beginning at pageblock and then have a
bogus compound_order outside pageblock in next page. We will abort search
loop with blockpfn > end_pfn. Although we will limit blockpfn to end_pfn,
we will treat it as a successful isolation in strict mode as blockpfn is
not < end_pfn and return partial isolated pages. Then
isolate_freepages_range may success unexpectly with hole in isolated
range.
