This patch gets build-broken by your
mm-page_isolation-make-set-unset_migratetype_isolate-file-local.patch,
which I shall drop.

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com>
Subject: mm, page_isolation: make set/unset_migratetype_isolate() file-local

Nowaday, set/unset_migratetype_isolate() is defined and used only in
mm/page_isolation, so let's limit the scope within the file.
