Hm, OK here's a fixup. I've pondered others but nothing made sense
unless I would have to devise really twisted ways in which somebody
broke the code in the future, and that's not worth BUG_ON().

But the checking made me realize that one more
set_freepage_migratetype() can be removed in the other patch, so I
will resend it.
