"order" is -1 when compacting via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory.  Making
it unsigned causes a bug in __compact_pgdat() when we test:

if (cc->order < 0 || !compaction_deferred(zone, cc->order))
compact_zone(zone, cc);

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make __compact_pgdat()'s comparison match other code sites]
