Subject: [PATCH 3/3] oom, trace: add compaction retry tracepoint

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

Higher order requests oom debugging is currently quite hard. We do have
some compaction points which can tell us how the compaction is operating
but there is no trace point to tell us about compaction retry logic.
This patch adds a one which will have the following format

            bash-3126  [001] ....  1498.220001: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=withdrawn retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0

we can see that the order 9 request is not retried even though we are in
the highest compaction priority mode becase the last compaction attempt
was withdrawn. This means that compaction_zonelist_suitable must have
returned false and there is no suitable zone to compact for this request
and so no need to retry further.

another example would be
           <...>-3137  [001] ....    81.501689: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=failed retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0

in this case the order-9 compaction failed to find any suitable
block. We do not retry anymore because this is a costly request
and those do not go below COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT priority.

Changes since v1
- fix compaction_result into highlevel constants translation as per
