We call isolate_freepages_block in strict mode, continuous pages in
pageblock will be isolated if isolate_freepages_block successed.
Then pfn + isolated will point to start of next pageblock to scan
no matter how many pageblocks are isolated in isolate_freepages_block.
Use pfn + isolated as start of next pageblock to scan to simplify the
iteration.
The pfn + isolated always points to start of next pageblock as:
In case isolated buddy page has order higher than pageblock:
1. page in buddy page is aligned with it's order
2. order of page is higher than pageblock order
Then page is aligned with pageblock order. So pfn of page and isolated
pages count are both aligned pageblock order. So pfn + isolated is
pageblock order aligned.
In case isolated buddy page has order lower than pageblock:
Buddy page with order N contains two order N - 1 pages as following:
| order N |
|order N - 1|order N - 1|
So buddy pages with order N - 1 will never cross boudary of order N.
Similar, buddy pages with order N - 2 will never cross boudary of order
N - 1 and so on. Then any pages with order less than pageblock order
will never crosa boudary of pageblock.
