While merging buddy free pages of a given order to make a higher order page,
the buddy allocator might coalesce pages belonging to *two* *different*
migratetypes of that order!
So, don't assume that both the buddies come from the same freelist;
instead, explicitly find out the migratetype info of the buddy page and use
it while merging the buddies.
Also, set the freepage migratetype of the buddy to the new one.
