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

[Zi Yan <zi.yan@sent.com>]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

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.
