Regardless actual allocation success, deferring for current order will be disabled so it doesn't result in much difference to compaction behaviour. Moreover, in the past, there is a gap between expectation for allocation succeess in compaction and actual success in page allocator. But, now, this gap would be diminished due to providing classzone_idx and alloc_flags to watermark check in compaction and changed watermark check criteria for high-order allocation. Therfore, it's not a big problem to update defer counter when allocation is expected to succeed. This change will help to simplify defer logic.
