Currently, when we free the page from pcp list to buddy, we check
pageblock of the page in order to isolate the page on isolated
pageblock. Although this could rarely happen and to check migratetype of
pageblock is somewhat expensive, we check it on free fast path. I think
that this is undesirable. To prevent this situation, I introduce new
variable, nr_isolate_pageblock on struct zone and use it to determine
if we should check pageblock migratetype. Isolation on pageblock rarely
happens so we can mostly avoid this pageblock migratetype check.
Additionally, unify freepage counting code, because it can be done in
common part, __free_one_page(). This unifying provides extra guarantee
that the page on isolate pageblock don't go into non-isolate buddy list.
This is similar situation describing in previous patch so refer it
if you need more explanation.
