Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/12] mm/compaction: optionally use a different isolate function

For CMA balancing, the compaction migration hooks can largely
be reused, except a different function to isolate free pages
is needed.

So, add a pointer to the isolation function in the compact_control
structure. If it's not NULL, use it, else use isolate_freepages as
usual.

No functional change.
