[RESEND RFC 0/3] memory-hotplug: handle page race between allocation and isolation
Memory hotplug has a subtle race problem so this patchset fixes the problem (Look at [3/3] for detail and please confirm the problem before review other patches in this series.) [1/3] is just clean up and help for [2/3]. [2/3] keeps the migratetype information to freed page's index field and [3/3] uses the information. [3/3] fixes the race problem with [2/3]'s information. After applying [2/3], migratetype argument in __free_one_page and free_one_page is redundant so we can remove it but I decide to not touch them because it increases code size about 50 byte.
