Subject: [PATCH] mm: init gfp mask in kcompactd_do_work()

We will use gfp_mask in the following path, but it's not init.

kcompactd_do_work
	compact_zone
		gfpflags_to_migratetype

However if not init, gfp_mask is always 0, and the result of
gfpflags_to_migratetype(0) and gfpflags_to_migratetype(GFP_KERNEL)
are the same, but it's a little confusion, so init it first.
