mm, compaction: prevent VM_BUG_ON when terminating freeing scanner 

It's possible to isolate some freepages in a pageblock and then fail
split_free_page() due to the low watermark check.  In this case, we hit
VM_BUG_ON() because the freeing scanner terminated early without a
contended lock or enough freepages.

This should never have been a VM_BUG_ON() since it's not a fatal
condition.  It should have been a VM_WARN_ON() at best, or even handled
gracefully.

Regardless, we need to terminate anytime the full pageblock scan was not
done.  The logic belongs in isolate_freepages_block(), so handle its
state gracefully by terminating the pageblock loop and making a note to
restart at the same pageblock next time since it was not possible to
complete the scan this time.
