Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of
isolated freepage by compaction and split page. It causes incorrect
mixed pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'.
This metric is really useful to measure fragmentation effect so
should be accurate. This patch fixes it by setting correct
information.
Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number
of mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks.
But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.
