Aristeu Rozanski reported that a customer test case started to report
-EBUSY after the hwpoison rework patchset.
There is a race window between spotting a free page and taking it off its
buddy freelist, so it might be that by the time we try to take it off, the
page has been already allocated.
This patch tries to handle such race window by trying to handle the new
type of page again if the page was allocated under us.
