fragmentation_index() returns -1000 when the allocation might succeed
This doesn't match the comment and code in compaction_suitable(). I
thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000
case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on
watermarks.

The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is
called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists.  It should have
the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.
