Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: fix the kcompactd order wakeuped by kswapd

When kswapd enters sleep, the situation of reclaim_order < 
alloc_order < pgdat->kswapd_order is possible, so the kcompactd 
order wakeuped by kswapd should take the max value of reclaim_order,
alloc_order and pgdat->kswapd_order.
