Success rates are still worse on second iteration compared to first, but much better overal.

Let's repeat compaction stats before patch 5, for easier comparison:

Compaction stalls                 2661        1953        2062
Compaction success                1005         738         832
Compaction failures               1656        1215        1229
Page migrate success           2137343     1941288     1984697
Page migrate failure              9345        5923        7109
Compaction pages isolated      4630988     4169422     4271015
Compaction migrate scanned    42109445    35090957    37926766
Compaction free scanned      150533970   131933800   126682354
Compaction cost                   2601        2339        2406

Again, migrate scanned went actually down after patch 5, the rest went up as
compaction was more successful and less deferred.
