Asynchronous compaction is used when promoting to huge pages. This is all
very nice but if there are a number of processes in compacting memory, a
large number of pages can be isolated. An "asynchronous" process can
stall for long periods of time as a result with a user reporting that
firefox can stall for 10s of seconds. This patch aborts asynchronous
compaction if too many pages are isolated as it's better to fail a
hugepage promotion than stall a process.
