There is a mistake on moving freepage from normal buddy list to isolate buddy list. If we move page from normal buddy list to isolate buddy list, We should subtract freepage count in this case, but, it didn't. And, previous patches ('mm/isolation: close the two race problems related to pageblock isolation' and 'mm/isolation: change pageblock isolation logic to fix freepage counting bugs') solves the race related to pageblock isolation. So, this misplacement cannot happen and this workaround aren't needed anymore.
