mm/compaction: fix bug in hugetlb handling pathway
commit a84edd52 upstream. The compaction code doesn't take references on pages until we're certain we should attempt to handle it. In the hugetlb case, isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page() may return -EBUSY without taking a reference to the folio associated with our pfn. If our folio's refcount drops to 0, compound_nr() becomes unpredictable, making low_pfn and nr_scanned unreliable. The user-visible effect is minimal - this should rarely happen (if ever). Fix this by storing the folio statistics earlier on the stack (just like the THP and Buddy cases). Also revert commit 66fe1cf7 ("mm: compaction: use helper compound_nr in isolate_migratepages_block") to make backporting easier.
