If __isolate_free_page() failed, due to zone watermark check, the page is still on the free list. But this page will be put back to free list again via __putback_isolated_page() now. This may trigger page->flags checks in __free_one_page() if PageReported is set. Or we will corrupt the free list because list_add() will be called for pages already on another list.
