mm/page_alloc: fix freeing of MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pages
Pages allocated from MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pageblocks are not freed back to MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype free lists in free_pcppages_bulk()->__free_one_page() if we got to free_pcppages_bulk() through drain_[zone_]pages(). The freeing through free_hot_cold_page() is okay because freepage migratetype is set to pageblock migratetype before calling free_pcppages_bulk(). If pages of MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype end up on the free lists of other migratetype whole Reserved pageblock may be later changed to the other migratetype in __rmqueue_fallback() and it will be never changed back to be a Reserved pageblock. Fix the issue by preserving freepage migratetype as a pageblock migratetype (instead of overriding it to the requested migratetype) for MIGRATE_RESERVE migratetype pages in rmqueue_bulk(). The problem was introduced in v2.6.31 by commit ed0ae21 ("page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype() more than necessary").
