mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range()
In isolate_single_pageblock() called by start_isolate_page_range(), there are some pageblock isolation issues causing a potential infinite loop when isolating a page range. This is reported by Qian Cai. 1. the pageblock was isolated by just changing pageblock migratetype without checking unmovable pages. Calling set_migratetype_isolate() to isolate pageblock properly. 2. an off-by-one error caused migrating pages unnecessarily, since the page is not crossing pageblock boundary. 3. migrating a compound page across pageblock boundary then splitting the free page later has a small race window that the free page might be allocated again, so that the code will try again, causing an potential infinite loop. Temporarily set the to-be-migrated page's pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE to prevent that and bail out early if no free page is found after page migration. An additional fix to split_free_page() aims to avoid crashing in __free_one_page(). When the free page is split at the specified split_pfn_offset, free_page_order should check both the first bit of free_page_pfn and the last bit of split_pfn_offset and use the smaller one. For example, if free_page_pfn=0x10000, split_pfn_offset=0xc000, free_page_order should first be 0x8000 then 0x4000, instead of 0x4000 then 0x8000, which the original algorithm did.
