[PATCH] mm: simple approach to calculate combined index of adjacent buddy lists

[KyongHo Cho <pullip.cho@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The previous approach of calucation of combined index was

page_idx & ~(1 << order))

but we have same result with

page_idx & buddy_idx.

I think this reduces instructions slightly as well as enhances readability.

(Sorry for duplicate patch in linux-mm.  failed to send this patch a bit ago.)
