Since the v4 change of patch 1, this now adds
is_migrate_isolate(migratetype) also for the free_pcppages_bulk path,
where it's not needed?

The 'mt' here for the tracepoint is now different. I know it's the same
as before patch 2, but the value introduced by patch 2 is more correct
than the reverting to pre-patch 2 done here.

This and the introduced check above are maybe minor things, but it makes
me question the value of unifying the check when the conditions in the
two call paths are not completely the same...

I understand this is also prerequisity for patch 4 in some sense, but if
you are reworking it anyway, then maybe this won't be needed in the end?

Thanks for the effort!
