This patch goes on top of the series. It looks big but it's mainly
moving code.
==== CUT HERE ====
mm,compaction: Do not display compaction-related stats when !CONFIG_COMPACTION
Although compaction can be disabled from .config, the vmstat entries
still exist. This patch removes the vmstat entries. As page_alloc.c
refers directly to the counters, the patch introduces
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() to isolate use of the counters.
