mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator
This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1].
There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using
normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page()
which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later
usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation
processing done by normal API.
One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be
checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there
would be more.
We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this
separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at
this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for
newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the
problem.
