Currently the position is updated in each loop iteration of isolate_freepages(), although it should be enough to update it only when breaking from the loop. There's also an extra check outside the loop updates the position in case we have met the migration scanner. This can be simplified if we move the test for having isolated enough from the for loop header next to the test for contention, and determining the restart position only in these cases. We can reuse the isolate_start_pfn variable for this instead of setting cc->free_pfn directly. Outside the loop, we can simply set cc->free_pfn to current value of isolate_start_pfn without any extra check. Also add a VM_BUG_ON to catch possible mistake in the future, in case we later add a new condition that terminates isolate_freepages_block() prematurely without also considering the condition in isolate_freepages().
