mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock

When we successfully find a pageblock in fast_find_migrateblock(), the
block will be set skip-flag through set_pageblock_skip().  However, when
entering isolate_migratepages_block(), the whole pageblock will be skipped
due to the branch 'if (!valid_page && IS_ALIGNED(low_pfn,
pageblock_nr_pages))'.  Eventually we will goto isolate_abort and isolate
nothing.  That makes fast_find_migrateblock useless.

In this patch, when we find a suitable pageblock in
fast_find_migrateblock, we do noting but let isolate_migratepages_block to
set skip flag to the pageblock after scan it.  Normally, we would isolate
some pages from the fast-find block.

I use mmtest/thpscale-madvhugepage test it. Here is the result:
