Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] mm/compaction: skip useless pfn when updating cached pfn

Cached pfn is used to determine the start position of scanner
at next compaction run. Current cached pfn points the skipped pageblock
so we uselessly checks whether pageblock is valid for compaction and
skip-bit is set or not. If we set scanner's cached pfn to next pfn of
skipped pageblock, we don't need to do this check.

This patch moved update_pageblock_skip() to
isolate_(freepages|migratepages). Updating pageblock skip information
isn't relevant to CMA so they are more appropriate place
to update this information.
