mm/page_alloc: prevent merging between isolated and other pageblocks

Hanjun Guo has reported that a CMA stress test causes broken accounting of
CMA and free pages:

> Before the test, I got:
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
> CmaTotal:         204800 kB
> CmaFree:          195044 kB
>
>
> After running the test:
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Cma
> CmaTotal:         204800 kB
> CmaFree:         6602584 kB
>
> So the freed CMA memory is more than total..
>
> Also the the MemFree is more than mem total:
>
> -bash-4.3# cat /proc/meminfo
> MemTotal:       16342016 kB
> MemFree:        22367268 kB
> MemAvailable:   22370528 kB

Laura Abbott has confirmed the issue and suspected the freepage accounting
rewrite around 3.18/4.0 by Joonsoo Kim.  Joonsoo had a theory that this is
caused by unexpected merging between MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks:

This was supposed to be prevented by CMA operating on MAX_ORDER blocks,
but since it doesn't hold the zone->lock between pageblocks, a race
window does exist.

It's also likely that unexpected merging can occur between
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and non-CMA pageblocks.  This should be prevented in
__free_one_page() since commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict
max order of merging on isolated pageblock").  However, we only check
the migratetype of the pageblock where buddy merging has been initiated,
not the migratetype of the buddy pageblock (or group of pageblocks)
which can be MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

Joonsoo has suggested checking for buddy migratetype as part of
page_is_buddy(), but that would add extra checks in allocator hotpath
and bloat-o-meter has shown significant code bloat (the function is
inline).

This patch reduces the bloat at some expense of more complicated code.
The buddy-merging while-loop in __free_one_page() is initially bounded
to pageblock_border and without any migratetype checks.  The checks are
placed outside, bumping the max_order if merging is allowed, and
returning to the while-loop with a statement which can't be possibly
considered harmful.

This fixes the accounting bug and also removes the arguably weird state
in the original commit 3c605096d315 where buddies could be left
unmerged.
