mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range()
In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there
are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when
isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai.
1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype
without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to
isolate pageblock properly.
2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page
is not crossing pageblock boundary.
3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the
free page later has a small race window that the free page might be
allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential
infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to
MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is
found after page migration.
An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in
__free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified
split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of
free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller
one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000,
free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then
0x8000, which the original algorithm did.
