#     mm: vmscan: reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress -fix
#     
#     Hugh Dickins reported the following
#     
#             My tmpfs swapping load (tweaked to use huge pages more heavily
#             than in real life) is far from being a realistic load: but it was
#             notably slowed down by your throttling mods in 5.16-rc, and this
#             patch makes it well again - thanks.
#     
#             But: it very quickly hit NULL pointer until I changed that last
#             line to
#     
#             if (first_pgdat)
#                     consider_reclaim_throttle(first_pgdat, sc);
#     
#     The likely issue is that huge pages are a major component of the test
#     workload.  When this is the case, first_pgdat may never get set if
#     compaction is ready to continue due to this check
#     
#             if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION) &&
#                 sc->order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER &&
#                 compaction_ready(zone, sc)) {
#                     sc->compaction_ready = true;
#                     continue;
#             }
#     
#     If this was true for every zone in the zonelist, first_pgdat would never
#     get set resulting in a NULL pointer exception.
