To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending() check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading. It "hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with locking as such. It just happens to work in a desirable fashion. This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs. Arguably the same check should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.
