mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled with zone->lock

Historically when freeing pages, free_one_page() assumed that callers had
IRQs disabled and the zone->lock could be acquired with spin_lock().  This
confuses the scope of what local_lock_irq is protecting and what
zone->lock is protecting in free_unref_page_list in particular.

This patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() for the zone->lock in free_one_page()
instead of relying on callers to have disabled IRQs.
free_unref_page_commit() is changed to only deal with PCP pages protected
by the local lock.  free_unref_page_list() then first frees isolated pages
to the buddy lists with free_one_page() and frees the rest of the pages to
the PCP via free_unref_page_commit().  The end result is that
free_one_page() is no longer depending on side-effects of local_lock to be
correct.

Note that this may incur a performance penalty while memory hot-remove is
running but that is not a common operation.
