Subject: mm, compaction: move high_pfn to the for loop scope

In fast_isolate_freepages, high_pfn will be used if a prefered one(PFN >=
low_fn) not found.  But the high_pfn is not reset before searching an free
area, so when it was used as freepage, it may from another free area
searched before.  And move_freelist_head(freelist, freepage) will have
unexpected behavior(eg.  corrupt the MOVABLE freelist)

The issue was reported on an smart phone product with 6GB ram and 3GB zram
as swap device.

This patch fixes the issue by reset high_pfn before searching each free
area, which ensure freepage and freelist match when call
move_freelist_head in fast_isolate_freepages().
