This VM_BUG_ON() used to check that the cached pcppage_migratetype set by free_unref_page() wasn't MIGRATE_ISOLATE. When I removed the caching, I erroneously changed the assert to check that no isolated pages are on the pcplist. This is quite different, because pages can be isolated *after* they had been put on the freelist already (which is handled just fine). IOW, this was purely a sanity check on the migratetype caching. With that gone, the check should have been removed as well. Do that now.
