Subject[PATCH v2 8/8] mm/isolation: remove useless race handling related to pageblock isolation
Date
There is a mistake on moving freepage from normal buddy list to isolate
buddy list. If we move page from normal buddy list to isolate buddy list,
We should subtract freepage count in this case, but, it didn't.

And, previous patches ('mm/isolation: close the two race problems related
to pageblock isolation' and 'mm/isolation: change pageblock isolation logic
to fix freepage counting bugs') solves the race related to pageblock
isolation. So, this misplacement cannot happen and this workaround
aren't needed anymore.
