commit 2ff754fa8f (mm: clear pages_scanned only if draining a pcp adds pages
to the buddy allocator again) fixed one free_pcppages_bulk() misuse. But two
another miuse still exist.

This patch fixes it.

Just nitpick.
Personally, I want to fix it follwing as
It's more simple and reduce vulnerable error in future.

If you mind, go ahead with your version. I am not against with it, either.

I don't like your version because free_pcppages_bulk() can be called from
free_pages() hotpath. then, i wouldn't like to put a branch if we can avoid it.
