mm/compaction: fix 'limit' in fast_isolate_freepages

Because of 'min(1, ...)', fast_isolate_freepages set 'limit' to 0 or 1.
This takes away the opportunities of find candinate pages.  So, by making
enough scans available, increases the probability of finding the
appropriate freepage.

Tested it on the thpscale and the results are as follows.
