Metadata pages can have special requirements and can only be allocated
if an architecture allows it.

In the direct compaction case, the source pages that will be migrated
will then be used to satisfy the allocation request that triggered the
compaction. Make sure that the allocation allows the use of metadata
pages when considering them for migration.

When a page is freed during direct compaction, the page allocator will
try to use that page to satisfy the allocation request. Don't capture a
metadata page in this case, even if the allocation request would allow
it, to increase the chances that the page is free when it needs to be
taken from the allocator to store metadata.
