mm, compaction: use correct watermark when checking compaction success 

The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has
to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should
succeed.  This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use
min watermark.  It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the
low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target
high-order page.  By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly
continue compaction.

Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether
allocation can succeed without compaction.  Again, this is unnecessarily
pessimistic.

After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to
determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.
