On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as there is nothing it can do and it would just incur overhead shuffling pages between lists constantly. Currently the check is made in the free page fast path for every page. This patch moves it to a slow path. On machines with low memory, there will be small amount of additional overhead as pages get shuffled between lists but it should quickly settle.
