Disable file compaction by default

At present time kernel does not support shared pages to be
swapped using file compaction which uses MADV_COLD and most
of the file pages in a process are actually shared mappings
causing us to waste a lot of cycles scanning through a lot
of unreclaimable pages, this patch disables file compaction
which will be reenabled until a solution is implemented on
upstream kernel that allows reclaiming shared pages, thus
making it worth to scan all of those pages again.

Test: am compact file <processname> <uid>
