Subject[PATCH v2] mm/page_isolation: do not isolate the max order page
Date
The max order page has no buddy page and never merge to other order.
So isolating and then freeing it is pointless. And if order == MAX_ORDER
- 1, then the buddy can actually be a !pfn_valid() in some corner case?
pfn_valid_within(buddy_pfn) that follows would only catch it on archs
with holes in zone. Then is_migrate_isolate_page(buddy) might access an
invalid buddy. So this is also a bug fix.

Fixes: 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock")
