We don't need to split freepages with holding the zone lock. It will cause
more contention on zone lock so not desirable.

Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <redacted>

So it wasn't possible to at least move this code from compaction.c to
page_alloc.c? Or better, reuse prep_new_page() with some forged
gfp/alloc_flags? As we discussed in v1...
Sorry for not mentioning that I did it as a separate patch,
Please see below link which is the last one within this patchset.
