page->private gets re-used in __free_one_page() to store page order
(so trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain() may print order instead of migratetype)
thus migratetype value must be cached locally.

Fixes regression introduced in a701623 ("mm: fix migratetype bug
which slowed swapping").
I think the regression has been alreadly fixed by following Mincahn's patches.

=> Hi Minchan,

    Am I wrong?
This patch isn't related to mine.
According to the description, the regression occurs by clearing migratetype
info from page->private at __free_one_page(). If we apply your patches,
migratetype info is stored into page->index. So the migratetype info is not
cleared. Thus we do not need to cache the info locally.

Thanks,

In addition, this patch don't need to be a part of this series.
