mm/vmscan: do not check compaction_ready on promoted zones
We abort direct reclaim if we find the zone is ready for compaction. Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a page from. In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath(). This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid the above situation. Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended zone is ready for compaction.
