I still don't understand why you have to change __get_free_pages(). I see no advantage to the changes.
I also very strongly disagree with your changes to "try_to_free_pages()", which makes it _always_ return a success (unless called recursively), which just obviously cannot be correct - it doesn't give the caller any information at all (the caller already had the "recursion" information).
