Hello,
After "fix freepage count problems in memory isolation" merged, this race
should not happen. I have to remove it in that patchset, but, I
forgot to remove it. Please remove this race handling code completely and
tag with stable. If we don't remove it, there is errornous situation
because get_freepage_migratetype() could return invalid migratetype
although the page is on the correct buddy list. So, we regard
no race situation as race one.
Thanks.
