mm: avoid reinserting isolated balloon pages into LRU lists
commit 117aad1e9e4d97448d1df3f84b08bd65811e6d6a upstream.
Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when
migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated
page list.
The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to
reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA
path. Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists
shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at
putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid
isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.
