Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] mm: page_alloc: avoid merging non-fallbackable pageblocks with others.

From: Zi Yan <[email protected]>

This is done in addition to MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock merge avoidance.
It prepares for the upcoming removal of the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment
requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range().

MIGRARTE_HIGHATOMIC should not merge with other migratetypes like
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRARTE_CMA[1], so this commit prevents that too.
Also add MIGRARTE_HIGHATOMIC to fallbacks array for completeness.

If it's never used, why is it added?

Otherwise looks fine so

Just to make the fallbacks list complete, since MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE are in the list. Instead, I can remove MIGRATE_CMA and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE. WDYT?

It probably makes more sense to remove them or replace them with a comment
stating what migratetypes do not have a fallback list. Do it as a separate
patch that stands alone. It does not need to be part of this series.
