Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: avoid accessing uninitialized pcp page migratetype

If it's not prepared to free unref page, the pcp page migratetype is
unset.  Thus We will get rubbish from get_pcppage_migratetype() and might
list_del &page->lru again after it's already deleted from the list leading
to grumble about data corruption.
