mm: fix kcompactd hang during memory offlining

Browse Source 
Assume memory47 is the last online block left in node1.  This will hang:

  # echo offline > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory47/state

After a couple of minutes, the following pops up in dmesg:

  INFO: task bash:957 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
         Not tainted 4.6.0-rc6+ #6
  "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
  bash            D ffff8800b7adbaf8     0   957    951 0x00000000

kcompactd is waiting for kcompactd_max_order > 0 when it's woken up to
actually exit.  Check kthread_should_stop() to break out of the wait.
