From: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0320@xxxxxxxxx> We might not want other migrate types pin highatomic pageblock away since it's reserved for high order use. And also we might not want reserve high atomic pages out of limit, we can add check in __free_one_page but this might be costly, so just stop the merging.
