When I use PAGE_OWNER in mmotm tree, I found a problem that mismatches
the number of allocated pages. When I investigate, the problem is that
set_page_order is called for only a head page if freed page is merged to
a higher order page in the buddy allocator so tail pages of the higher
order page couldn't be reset to page->order = -1.
It means when we do 'cat /proc/page-owner', it could show wrong
information.
So page->order should be set to -1 for all the tail pages as well as the
first page before buddy allocator merges them.
This patch is for clearing page->order of all the tail pages in
free_pages_prepare() when to free page.
