free_the_page() used by page_frag call free_unref_page() or __free_pages_ok() depending on pcp_allowed_order(), as the max order of page allocated for page_frag is 3, the checking in pcp_allowed_order() is unnecessary. So call free_unref_page() directly to free a page_frag page to aovid the unnecessary checking. As the free_the_page() is a static function in page_alloc.c, using the new one also allow moving page_frag related code to a new file in the next patch.
