added buddy check code. But unfortunately, this fix isn't backported to
linux-5.17.y and the former stable branches. The reason is it added wrong
fixes message:
      Fixes: 1dd214b8f21c ("mm: page_alloc: avoid merging non-fallbackable
                            pageblocks with others")
Actually, this issue is involved by commit:
      commit d9dddbf55667 ("mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks")

For RISC-V arch, the first 2M is reserved for sbi, so the start PFN is 512,
but it got buddy PFN 0 for PFN 0x2000:
      0 = 0x2000 ^ (1 << 12)
How did we get 0? (Try it in gdb)
(gdb) p /x (0x2000 ^ (1<<12))
$3 = 0x3000
Sorry, the order is 0xd = 13, not 12, it is a typo.
I think it got buddy PFN 0 for PFN 0x1000, right?
(gdb) p /x (0x1000 ^ (1<<12))
$4 = 0x0

With the illegal buddy PFN 0, it got an illegal buddy page, which caused
crash in __get_pfnblock_flags_mask().

With the patch, it can avoid the calling of get_pageblock_migratetype() if
it isn't buddy page.

Right, we need to check the buddy_pfn valid, because some SoCs would
start dram address with an offset that has an order smaller than
MAX_ORDER.
