    Actually, in all the core code, I used "mode" but I was inconsistent in
    the headers and some of the filesystems. I should have converted all use
    of "sync" which was a boolean to a mode which has three possible values
    after this patch.

    ==== CUT HERE ====
    mm: compaction: Introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction fix

    Consistently name enum migrate_mode parameters "mode" instead of "sync".
