isolate_freepages() is currently somewhat hard to follow thanks to many
different pfn variables. Especially misleading is the name 'high_pfn' which
looks like it is related to the 'low_pfn' variable, but in fact it is not.
This patch renames the 'high_pfn' variable to a hopefully less confusing name,
and slightly changes its handling without a functional change. A comment made
obsolete by recent changes is also updated.
