memory-hotplug: bug fix race between isolation and allocation

Like below, memory-hotplug makes race between page-isolation
and page-allocation so it can hit BUG_ON in __offline_isolated_pages.

CPU A CPU B

start_isolate_page_range
set_migratetype_isolate
spin_lock_irqsave(zone->lock)

free_hot_cold_page(Page A)
/* without zone->lock */
migratetype = get_pageblock_migratetype(Page A);
/*
 * Page could be moved into MIGRATE_MOVABLE
 * of per_cpu_pages
 */
list_add_tail(&page->lru, &pcp->lists[migratetype]);

set_pageblock_isolate
move_freepages_block
drain_all_pages

/* Page A could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list. */

check_pages_isolated
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock
/*
 * We can't catch freed page which
 * is free_list[MIGRATE_MOVABLE]
 */
if (PageBuddy(page A))
pfn += 1 << page_order(page A);

/* So, Page A could be allocated */

__offline_isolated_pages
/*
 * BUG_ON hit or offline page
 * which is used by someone
 */
BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page A));

This patch checks page's migratetype in freelist in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  So now
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.
