mm, compaction: Use free lists to quickly locate a migration source -fix

Commit Message

Vlastimil correctly pointed out that when a fast search fails and cc->migrate_pfn
is reinitialised to the lowest PFN found that the caller does not use the updated
PFN.

This is a fix for the mmotm patch
mm-compaction-use-free-lists-to-quickly-locate-a-migration-source.patch
