mm: compaction: fix echo 1 > compact_memory return error issue
when run the folloing command under shell, it will return error
sh/$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
sh/$ sh: write error: Bad address
After strace, I found the following log:
...
write(1, "1\n", 2) = 3
write(1, "",
4294967295) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
write(2, "echo: write error: Bad address\n", 31echo: write error: Bad address
) = 31
This tells system return 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) after write data to
compact_memory.
The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE)
from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.
