mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD flag with kthread_func() check

PF_KCOMPACTD was introduced by commit ce6d9c1c2b ("NFS: fix
nfs_release_folio() to not deadlock via kcompactd writeback") so
nfs_release_folio() could detect kcompactd context and skip writeback. 
The flag is only consumed by current_is_kcompactd(), whose sole caller is
nfs_release_folio().

Replace the flag-based check with kthread_func(current) == kcompactd,
freeing the 0x00010000 PF flag bit.
