get_onpcp_migratetype() is only introduced in later patch.

I wouldn't say it "do neither". It already limits the freepage counting
to !MIGRATE_ISOLATE case (and it's not converted to
__mod_zone_freepage_state for some reason). So there's accounting
mismatch in addition to buddy list misplacement.

So although this is not an addition of a new pageblock migratetype check
to the fast path (the check is already there), I would prefer removing
the check :) With the approach of pcplists draining outlined in my reply
to 00/10, we would allow a misplacement to happen (and the page
accounted as freepage) immediately followed by move_frepages_block which
would place the page onto isolate freelist with the rest. Anything newly
freed will get isolate_migratetype determined in free_hot_cold_page or
__free_pages_ok (where it would need moving the migratepage check under
the disabled irq part) and be placed and buddy-merged properly.
