The check '!PageBuddy(page) && page_count(page) == 0 && migratetype == MIGRATE_ISOLATE' would mean the page on free processing. Although it could go into buddy allocator within a short time, futher operation such as isolate_freepages_range() in CMA, called after test_page_isolated_in_pageblock(), could be failed due to this unstability since it requires that the page is on buddy. I think that removing this unstability is good thing. And, following patch makes isolated freepage has new status matched with this condition and this check is the obstacle to that change. So remove it.
