Subject: mm, compaction: make fast_isolate_freepages() stay within zone

Compaction always operates on pages from a single given zone when
isolating both pages to migrate and freepages.  Pageblock boundaries are
intersected with zone boundaries to be safe in case zone starts or ends in
the middle of pageblock.  The use of pageblock_pfn_to_page() protects
against non-contiguous pageblocks.

The functions fast_isolate_freepages() and fast_isolate_around() don't
currently protect the fast freepage isolation thoroughly enough against
these corner cases, and can result in freepage isolation operate outside
of zone boundaries:

- in fast_isolate_freepages() if we get a pfn from the first pageblock
  of a zone that starts in the middle of that pageblock, 'highest' can be
  a pfn outside of the zone.  If we fail to isolate anything in this
  function, we may then call fast_isolate_around() on a pfn outside of the
  zone and there effectively do a set_pageblock_skip(page_to_pfn(highest))
  which may currently hit a VM_BUG_ON() in some configurations

- fast_isolate_around() checks only the zone end boundary and not
  beginning, nor that the pageblock is contiguous (with
  pageblock_pfn_to_page()) so it's possible that we end up calling
  isolate_freepages_block() on a range of pfn's from two different zones
  and end up e.g.  isolating freepages under the wrong zone's lock.

This patch should fix the above issues.
