Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm, compaction: Finish scanning the current pageblock if requested

cc->finish_pageblock is set when the current pageblock should be
rescanned but fast_find_migrateblock can select an alternative
block. Disable fast_find_migrateblock when the current pageblock
scan should be completed.
