Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm/compaction: enable compacting >0 order folios.

migrate_pages() supports >0 order folio migration and during compaction,
even if compaction_alloc() cannot provide >0 order free pages,
migrate_pages() can split the source page and try to migrate the base pages
from the split. It can be a baseline and start point for adding support for
compacting >0 order folios.
