It seems to work. Although this may change the return value of
get_any_page() to 1 when MF_COUNT_INCREASED is set. This may cause
soft offline to mishandle free buddy page, but MF_COUNT_INCREASED is
only set when madvise is used, and madvise definitely can't soft
offline free buddy page. It did take me a while to figure out this
trick. Maybe need some refactor?

Anyway this patch looks fine to me. Reviewed-by: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com>
