mm/compaction: more trace to understand when/why compaction start/finish

It is not well analyzed that when/why compaction start/finish or not. With these new tracepoints, we can know much more about start/finish reason of compaction. I can find following bug with these tracepoint. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg81582.html Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <[email protected]> Cc: Mel Gorman <[email protected]> Cc: David Rientjes <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
