mm: compaction: update the COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events properly
By definition, COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events needs to be counted when there is 'At least in one zone compaction wasn't deferred or skipped from the direct compaction'. And when compaction is skipped or deferred, COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned but it will still go and update these compaction events which is wrong in the sense that COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] is counted without even trying the compaction. Correct this by skipping the counting of these events when COMPACT_SKIPPED is returned for compaction. This indirectly also avoid the unnecessary try into the get_page_from_freelist() when compaction is not even tried. There is a corner case where compaction is skipped but still count COMPACTSTALL event, which is that IRQ came and freed the page and the same is captured in capture_control.
