mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check
If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the current holding zone->lock for the freeing page cann't prevent buddy page getting allocated, this could trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_is_buddy() at a very tiny chance, such as: cpu 0: cpu 1: hold zone_1 lock check page and it buddy PageBuddy(buddy) is true hold zone_2 lock page_order(buddy) == order is true alloc buddy trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(buddy) != 0) zone_1->lock prevents the freeing page getting allocated zone_2->lock prevents the buddy page getting allocated they are not the same zone->lock. If we can't remove the zone_id check statement, it's better handle this rare race. This patch fixes this by placing the zone_id check before the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check.
