mm, compaction: simplify handling restart position in free pages scanner

[ Upstream commit f5f61a320bf6275f37fcabf6645b4ac8e683c007 ]

Handling the position where compaction free scanner should restart
(stored in cc->free_pfn) got more complex with commit e14c720efdd7 ("mm,
compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner").
Currently the position is updated in each loop iteration of
isolate_freepages(), although it should be enough to update it only when
breaking from the loop.  There's also an extra check outside the loop
updates the position in case we have met the migration scanner.

This can be simplified if we move the test for having isolated enough
from the for-loop header next to the test for contention, and
determining the restart position only in these cases.  We can reuse the
isolate_start_pfn variable for this instead of setting cc->free_pfn
directly.  Outside the loop, we can simply set cc->free_pfn to current
value of isolate_start_pfn without any extra check.

Also add a VM_BUG_ON to catch possible mistake in the future, in case we
later add a new condition that terminates isolate_freepages_block()
prematurely without also considering the condition in
isolate_freepages().
