Subject: [PATCH] mm/compaction.c: clear total_{migrate,free}_scanned before
 scanning a new zone

total_{migrate,free}_scanned will be added to COMPACTMIGRATE_SCANNED and
COMPACTFREE_SCANNED in compact_zone().  We should clear them before
scanning a new zone.  In the proc triggered compaction, we forgot clearing
them.
