Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control

While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct
compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so place
them all together to the end of the structure. While at it, just order all
fields from largest to smallest.
