[PATCH 3/6] mm: add is_migrate_isolate_page_nolock() for cases where locking is undesirable

[Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>]

This patch complements the addition of get_pageblock_migratetype_nolock() for
the case where is_migrate_isolate_page() cannot be called with zone->lock held.
A race with set_pageblock_migratetype() may be detected, in which case a caller
supplied argument is returned.
