Commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock")
changed the logic of unset_migratetype_isolate to check the buddy allocator
and explicitly call __free_pages to merge. The page that is being freed in
this path never had prep_new_page called so set_page_refcounted is called
explicitly but there is no call to kernel_map_pages. With the default
kernel_map_pages this is mostly harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any
manipulation of the page tables (unmapping or setting pages to read only) this
may trigger a fault:
alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(ceb00, ced00) failed
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc0cec00000
pgd = ffffffc045fc4000

Fix this by calling kernel_map_pages to ensure the page is set in the
page table properly

Note this was found on a backport to 3.10 and the code to make kernel_map_pages
change the page table state is currently out of tree. The original had stable,
so this may need to go into stable as well.
