mm: compaction: prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction

Up until 3e7d344 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead
of lumpy reclaim"), compaction skipped calculating the fragmentation index
of a zone when compaction was explicitely requested through the procfs
knob.

However, when compaction_suitable was introduced, it did not come with an
extra check for order == -1, set on explicit compaction requests, and
passed this order on to the fragmentation index calculation, where it
overshifts the number of requested pages, leading to a division by zero.

This patch makes sure that order == -1 is recognized as the flag it is
rather than passing it along as valid order parameter.
