How is it possible you're changing the signature of a function without
touching a header file? Surely __isolate_lru_page_prepare() must be declared
in mm/internal.h ?

I don't think the word "else" helps here. Just
/* It is being freed elsewhere */

I don't think this comment helps me understand what's going on here.
Maybe:

/* Another thread is already isolating this page */
