In order to enable the use of the zone from the list manipulator functions
I will need access to the zone pointer. As it turns out most of the
accessors were always just being directly passed &zone->free_area[order]
anyway so it would make sense to just fold that into the function itself
and pass the zone and order as arguments instead of the free area.

In order to be able to reference the zone we need to move the declaration
of the functions down so that we have the zone defined before we define the
list manipulation functions. Since the functions are only used in the file
mm/page_alloc.c we can just move them there to reduce noise in the header.

Did you see

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191001152928.27008.8178.stgit@localhost.localdomain/T/#m4d2bc2f37bd7bdc3ae35c4f197905c275d0ad2f9

this time?

And the difference to the old patch is only an empty line.
