mm/compaction: Disable compact_unevictable_allowed on RT

Since commit 5bbe3547aa3ba ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default.  On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.

Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.
