Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] introduce kcompactd and stop compacting in kswapd

The previous RFC is here [1]. It didn't have a cover letter, so the description
and results are in the individual patches.

Changes since v1:
- do only sync compaction in kcompactd (Mel)
- only compact zones up to classzone_idx (Mel)
- move wakeup_kcompactd() call from patch 2 to patch 4 (Mel)
- Patch 3 is separate from Patch 2 for review purposes, although I would just
  fold it in the end (Mel)
- Patch 5 is new
- retested on 4.5-rc1 with 5 repeats, which removed some counter-intuitive
  results and added more confidence

Vlastimil Babka (5):
  mm, kswapd: remove bogus check of balance_classzone_idx
  mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd
  mm, memory hotplug: small cleanup in online_pages()
  mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd
  mm, compaction: adapt isolation_suitable flushing to kcompactd
