Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 13/19] memory-hotplug: check page type in get_page_bootmem

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@...fujitsu.com>

There is a possibility that get_page_bootmem() is called to the same page many
times. So when get_page_bootmem is called to the same page, the function only
increments page->_count.
