We don't need to split freepages with holding the zone lock. It will cause
more contention on zone lock so not desirable.

Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

So it wasn't possible to at least move this code from compaction.c to page_alloc.c? Or better, reuse prep_new_page() with some forged gfp/alloc_flags? As we discussed in v1...
