UPSTREAM: mm: page_alloc: fix up block types when merging compatible blocks
The buddy allocator coalesces compatible blocks during freeing, but it doesn't update the types of the subblocks to match. When an allocation later breaks the chunk down again, its pieces will be put on freelists of the wrong type. This encourages incompatible page mixing (ask for one type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation. Update the subblocks when merging a larger chunk, such that a later expand() will maintain freelist type hygiene.
