Subject: [PATCH 13/14] mm, compaction: Capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during compaction
can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a capture_control
structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed by a direct compactor
in the slow path of the page allocator.

Amean fault-both-32 18150.08 ( 0.00%) 9684.82 * 46.64%*
As expected, the biggest reduction in latency is when there are multiple
compaction instances that would previously compete for the same blocks.
THP allocation rates are also slightly higher.
