Ding Hui 68dcd32b32 mm/page_alloc: fix counting of free pages after take off from buddy 
commit bac9c6fa1f upstream.

Recently we found that there is a lot MemFree left in /proc/meminfo
after do a lot of pages soft offline, it's not quite correct.

Before Oscar's rework of soft offline for free pages [1], if we soft
offline free pages, these pages are left in buddy with HWPoison flag,
and NR_FREE_PAGES is not updated immediately.  So the difference between
NR_FREE_PAGES and real number of available free pages is also even big
at the beginning.

However, with the workload running, when we catch HWPoison page in any
alloc functions subsequently, we will remove it from buddy, meanwhile
update the NR_FREE_PAGES and try again, so the NR_FREE_PAGES will get
more and more closer to the real number of available free pages.
(regardless of unpoison_memory())

Now, for offline free pages, after a successful call
take_page_off_buddy(), the page is no longer belong to buddy allocator,
and will not be used any more, but we missed accounting NR_FREE_PAGES in
this situation, and there is no chance to be updated later.

Do update in take_page_off_buddy() like rmqueue() does, but avoid double
counting if some one already set_migratetype_isolate() on the page.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
