mm, page_alloc: keep pcp count and list contents in sync if struct page is corrupted 

Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a20 ("mm, page_alloc:
defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the
per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if
a struct page is corrupted.

The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully
drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the
count is positive.  The infinite loop occurs here

                do {
                        batch_free++;
                        if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES)
                                migratetype = 0;
                        list = &pcp->lists[migratetype];
                } while (list_empty(list));

What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with
interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk().

This patch keeps the accounting in sync.
