[PATCH 02/11] mm: compaction: introduce isolate_{free,migrate}pages_range().

From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86 at mina86.com>

This commit introduces isolate_freepages_range() and
isolate_migratepages_range() functions.  The first one replaces
isolate_freepages_block() and the second one extracts functionality
from isolate_migratepages().

They are more generic and instead of operating on pageblocks operate
on PFN ranges.
